Which Geogadgets are overpriced?
PC World has a listing of all the tech gadgets it thinks are outrageously expensive, including a some geo-ones.
GPS Devices with 5-inch (or Larger) Screens
Price: $600 and up
GPS Analyst Craig Ellison says: In general, I found that GPS devices with a screen size of 5 inches or larger seemed disproportionately higher priced with less features compared to the traditional 4.3-inch ones. Such products are the Magellan Maestro 5310 ($800) and the Garmin nüvi 5000 ($600). Sure, Garmin can get away with high prices since its models have a unique feature—voice recognition—that none of the other products have, but they're still priced way too high.
