I wanted mine to be an all-in-one so I could use it on the golf course and walking around in a city. I have different software for those uses. :exc:
If there's no discount, those items must be on sale. But, bottom line, you'll get your GPS setup for less than $100. That's pretty good. My whole setup was just over $100. And that's pretty cheap. :)
Good luck with your setup. :approve:

Just under $100 USD that is... by the time it gets to my door it'll be just shy of $200CAD I could buy a stand-alone GPS for less than that up here, but I don't use my Axim as much as I want to so heh.
I was talking with my wife a while back about getting a GPS her reply was "Why? you know where youre going." and typically I do.. then I thought, well if I do get lost I guess a compass would work to get me un-lost. The only "real" reason I need a GPS for directions is for the odd street that's named not numbered in the primary city I drive in. Or if I go down to Calgary. Other than that it would be just a toy.
You maybe onto something about the CF GPS... the Ax would be pulling more juice then, so I could see it running warm.. I suppose I could use the vent mount option and turn on the AC :P
