When Maplin opens tomorrow I’ll give them a call to see if they have any in.

Just to test it for £19 you can’t really go wrong.

I think it is too good to be true. Looking at the website you'll have to buy the GPS as well. At the moment there's no price against it.

Oh yes there is, if you browse the site to the section.
A99BB GPS Receiver Due in 7 days 89.99

Gah.
+ 19.99 for the cable (USB).
Double Gah.

Have a look at Deluo.com

they do UK shipping.

For the newbie
So is there a concensus on the lowest cost GPS with good performance?

Thanks,

John

Well, I bought the Deluo, and had it shipped to the UK. Got it in less than a week.
The one I bought at the time didn't include the special offer software but the price was OK, and I have had it functioning perfectly with Mappoint and aGPS addon, and with GPSS (free basic UK software).

Hello. I also am interested to the purchase of a receiver on deluo. I do not have idea of how much can cost the shipment in Italy. How much you have paid it?
Thanks.

If you Mail deluo, they will give you an idea of how much shipping is. It was only a few dollars through the USPS anyway.

I think you can choose you country when you deal with the checkout, and it will tell you shipping there.

Hello.
Thanks for the timely answer. I have already written to the deluo, but they have still not answered. I will try to make as you say.
Thanks many.
