Whatever, it's still too damned much for what you get. After paying two
grand for a Navi system, updates to the DVD shouldn't be more than a few
dollars. $29.95 sounds about right.

The marketing approach is stupid. It's as if they want to discourage sales.

How many people buy them at $150-$200..? Not many, I'd bet. I won't - not
for the minor changes they contain. If they dropped the price to something
reasonable, the majority might, and the profit on them would be much greater.
