Hang on for a couple of weeks. All they need is your credit card and
shipping address. Houston. No problemo.

The Globalsat out-of-box gps

does not need that much of brick-and-mortar base of operation for
marketing and support.
Although I do not work for Globalsat, I will let you know when you can
order it if you are tired of Garmin products.

Again if I am correct, the market share of iPod over other mp3 poor
knockoffs is a lot below that of Garmin (over other gps units). Both
marketshare of iPod and Garmin are expected to be declining. How
fast? I have not had any ready figure. Looks like Garmin defence is to
go into more multi-functions barely clinging to its stranglehold on
its proprietary software+hardware. Well Garmin is finally listening ,
as you said, to people's need for generic sd card instead of its card.
And you thanked profusely for Garmin's move. Halleluia.
