But at the $1500 price that Garmin has publically committed to is it that big of a revenue stream for them? I mean its not chump change for some of us, but considering what needs to happen to a 430 for this to work (new software, new processor, new re-certification(?), the overhead of a whole upgrade program), I'm surpised that Garmin can even break even at that price. See my cynical view posting of earlier. The ship-by date on this alleged upgrade has been steadily slipping. Now it's a year away. yawn Wake me up when the sucker starts shipping. Oh yeah, bonus points if you can find out how to get on the waiting list for this alleged upgrade. -jav |
