That's like buying Windows 7 for like 1,000 dollars, whatever the price is, and then paying 1,000 dollars for an update that ads nothing noticeable :P
I'm a long time Garmin/TomTom user and every gps company is the same. I agree with you about 1 map update costing sometimes more than the unit itself especially when there are 4 updates a year. If you don't like it ditch that POS Magellan and pick up a new TomTom or garmin with lifetime maps included for $130 and you dont have to worry or bitch about it anymore. You don't know how important it is to have an up to date map till you need it and end up in the boonies.
ArchFiend, that royally sucks, and I feel your pain. I had a Magellan that I needed to upgrade and when I saw the price I was like "Fuck that!" I wound up buying a TomTom at my local Navy Exchange for $150 and it rocks!
The best part about the TomTom is that you can receive updates from other users without having to pay jack... but they at least give you the option to buy through the company or not.
Wow. I am just SHOCKED to find ANY company would charge a person ANY fee to upgrade ANY system, let alone a GPS. Updating a system should be for free.
I understand where your coming from but it does cost to go out and add all the extra roads or memory and stuff such as that. :/ but 80 dollars is overdoing it alot
Tomtom for the iPhone was the same price. While other phones have built in gps maps like nokia , why the fuck would I pay for something that should have been on the system in the first place. I didn't pay for it, the freaking phone is expensive enough. That is like buying a laptop that has wifi built in but in order to use it you have to pay 25 bucks for the drivers...
I have that exact same unit. I updated it once in the past, and it was free. So this $80 business is new... like, what the hell are they thinking? They went from normal to STUPID!
If you update it within a certain time frame, then the updates are free. It's usually free to update it in the first year of owning it. I've had this one for 14 months now.
Ahh! Yes, I updated mine after like a month. It's been about a year and a half now, so I bet they'll try to charge me. I should get a new GPS anyway, this one takes a good five minutes before it connects to satellites after startup.
Wow, that's crazy. I own a megellen gps as well. I got it on ebay for like 200 about 5 years ago..80 bucks for an update?! I might as well go out and buy a new one. That's the equivalent of having to pay for updated drivers for a printer, to have it work with a new operating system. It should be free.
Yea Archfiend! hey bro ive been watchin your vids since the 08 olympics and your awesome and now my sister watches you all the time too. When i watched your 5000 sub vid it inspired me ( ok inspire is a strong word maybe not inspire but you get the idea) and now im subscribing so i can help you reach your ultimate goal of 10000 subs Rock on Douchebuster!!!!!
Updates should be free, unless it's pc program that has completely new version (for example adobe cs3 to cs4, or win xp to vista). That's ridiculous, that's why there's piracy, because of these greedy corporations that will charge you for anything. You could get new device for 80 bucks, and there's always risk that you may brick/mess up that device by that update. Just thank you Arch for bringing this out.
Oh my god, when you started of talking about that update, I thought you were gonna say that it didn't worked correctly or something, but holy crap, 80 bucks for a fucking GPS update? Come on, are they on crack?
please don't pirate software. I don't care if it's overpriced thats no excuse for stealing something you don't really need. If your one of those people who pull out the "I wasn't going to buy it anyway so it doesn't matter" card, just because you weren't going to buy it doesn't mean you deserve it. But yes this update is BS and I'm curious to how much information would actaully be in it. Probably not enough to justify any price above 10 dollars
Okay? are you on the same planet as everyone else? As long as it is available for free then offcourse people choose that option. do you really thing people bye software, games, videos and music if it's out on the web? stop being so blind.
I would expect people would have at least some moral value to pay the people who work hard to produce this media. Are you attempting to justify outright theft by saying everyone does it?
I don't need? I don't download things I do not need. If I need Sony Vegas I download it from a torrent site because it's nto free. If I wanna have a new song or cd I will either download it from limewire for free then buy it. If you wanna pay for things you can get for free then be my guest but it's just stupid to pay if you dont need to.
look, pc and real life are two different things. and downloading cracked versions of software on the pc is technicaly not stealing. Why do you even care so much about this? Downloading is free and that's why everybody do that. I will not even bother to reply on your next message.
how is it diferent? just becouse it's digital? and alsow i repite:
"Someone works ther ass off to make a program, game, operation system etc. and trys to sell it to people, but insted they download it thous the peple who MADE it don't have resources to make new stuff because they can't aford it.
Plus just because something is on the internet and you can download it's not automaticaly legal.
Let's saty youd make a next generation download menager after years of work and i put it on the internet for free wouldn't you get pissed that your not geting any benefits from it?
Yes you won't bother because you have no argument, digital media is protected by law, and therefore downloading it is stealing. Digital media takes just as long if not longer then other mediums to create. Not everybody downloads software because they know it's stealing and that it's wrong. We care about this because in your other comments you've proven just how ignorant you are about this. As for music, don't use the excuse" I download it and buy it later" because no one does the second part
Thats because more people like Herriman like free and think "well they band/company is already rich so why not?" sure they have lots of money because of the people who actually bought and paid for thier stuff. downloading support what you like. I download music yes but as i said I later on buy the CD because I still like to support my favorite bands. they wouldn't be where they are today if no one actually paid for anything. Herriman will fail to understand that just because he likes free things
Getting a torrent of this doesn't change the fact that this is way over-priced. The point is that this service should be a few bucks or FREE. It's a update. How the hell does someone get $80 for a cost?! And who pays for this shit?!
We know the price is BS just trying to inform Herriman about his pirate activities and disprove his claims. As for the GPS, why have an update now? How many roads could have been built within 17-18 months?
Yeah, its the same shit with my Garmin. I cant afford that update. The GPS says to get an update like the maps you have now are all out of date and you'll get lost. Bullshit.
That is such bullshit. All the main roads are the same everywhere. I'll use mapquest if I need to find the last two turns of an uncharted location on my Magellan.
I think Tom Tom is free. Not Sure about that. I just use my cell phone from Verizon and it cost $2.99 for 24 hours or $9.99 per month. i just use the $2.99 when I go on a trip. That updates it self evertime i use it.
