Good find! Unfortunately (for me) the seller will only ship in the US.

Ah....was racking my brain to remember the brand but was also going to mention that Rand Mcnally one, my family has a couple and it's a good unit. Not the latest and greatest but every now and then you can find one for real cheap. Also easy to power by just cutting off a ps2 connector and hooking up some DC.

wouldnt i need a 5V regulator for that though? cuz doesn't ps2 carry a 5V charge?

Hmmm.... I'll have to go back and look, because I want to say that I think it can take wide range of voltage, like ~5v up to ~13v or so.... seems like when my dad was messing with his that he found out that he could just give it straight 12v from the car, but I'll have to double check that.

I'll be using the Digitraveler. It was sold at radioshack for a while. It has a serial connector. Sometimes it pops up on eBay.
