City Navigator version 2009 recently came out (within the past month) Garmin updates their maps once a year. It costs you to update whatever you have on your Garmin GPS(like $60, used to be free). If you bought a GPS a month ago with the old map software, too bad for you. It makes a lot of sense to buy right when the new maps come out as they will be out of date eventually. That may be why they cost less around thanksgiving/christmas as they are 1/2 way out of date by then. GPS's that are listed as no longer supported do not come with the latest map and you could be buying an out of date map and not even know it, and have to shell out $60 for an update immediately.
I have bought 2 Garmins and loved them. I am not sure if I am buying another Garmin as I don't care for the current marketing scheme. TomTom? Magellan?
