2: Game time! Steam is offering a whopping 11 indie game bundles, each containing five popular titles, for $9.99 apiece. It supplies 1,900mAh of supplemental power.
Ending today, CNET Marketplace has a rechargeable iPhone 4/4S battery case for $20 shipped. All told, I think this is a killer deal on a GPS with all the best goodies.īonus deal: Is your iPhone battery starting to show its age? If it's more than a year old, it definitely won't last as long as it used to. (You've got your phone for that stuff, am I right?)Īlthough warranty information isn't specified, it's a good bet you'll get 90 days of coverage, which is standard for refurbished Magellan navigators. I need to update my Magellan Roadmate 1412.
It's not a media player or Bluetooth speakerphone or anything like that, but I tend to find those features pretty superfluous. The RoadMate's other features include a 4.3-inch screen, spoken street names, and highway lane assist. Those are huge perks, in my humble opinion, especially the quarterly map updates (which can cost as much as $70-$80 if purchased individually). In case it's not abundantly clear, the "T" in 2036T-LM's name stands for the "traffic," while the "LM" is for "lifetime maps." (Don't worry, the product description states clearly that traffic updates are free as well.) Alternately, shipping adds only about $2.
You can pick it up for free from a Wal-Mart store or, interestingly, a Fedex Office store. 374 - Phantom Alerts Basic POI Update - Mac: 375 - RoadMate 5255 - Owners Manual: 376 - RoadMate 5265T - Owners Manual: 377 - 378 - RoadMate 9270T - Software Update: 379 - RoadMate 9261 - Software Update: 380 - Vantage Point Version 2.40: 381 - eXplorist GC - Software Version 2.13 - PC: 382 - eXplorist GC - Software Version 2. So here's a gem: Wal-Mart has the refurbished Magellan RoadMate 2036T-LM GPS for $59.98, plus sales tax in most states.
The last thing I need is another gizmo that I have to keep paying for. I've thought about it a lot, and much as I'm enamored with smartphones' navigation capabilities, I still think it makes sense to own a dedicated GPS.īut only a dedicated GPS that comes with lifetime map updates - and, ideally, lifetime traffic reporting as well.
