      I find it overpriced IMO. True it works without data connection but I can't bring myself to find value in it (considering my smartphone can do all of it in most places; mobile data almost works in all the places in the country).

          Good!!! but 'am not sure of the price. I found it a tad bit highly priced compared to a smartphone functionality & practicality, things that one can do while the other cannot. Still, for travel enthusiasts, I guess this is a steal; now the problem is most of us are travelers, aren't we???

            But if it doesn't deliver value then the product will not sell. A customer will buy a product if it provides him value for that amount , not because it costs x to the company.

            To put it simply, smartphones are killing this industry, just like it is killing point and shoot cameras.

                          The Garmin seems to be a better option.

                            Thanks Krishna bhai..For now I am planning to switch my current stupid non-working crazy mobile to Asus Zenfone 2 and use the Google maps for now. I will try to get this one ordered from US and load the maps for India (if that is possible).

                              phone cannot do 140-170 degree wide angle + helmet mount + water proof...

                              on the other hand phones are good alternative for maps.. google maps with a basic 2G works like wonder.
                              device is definitely good ..price is not...
