Ok, guys, now my contribution to this thread, I went over my historical accounting records:
I bought my Garmin 276C for DHS 2,750.00 on 29-Oct-2007 from Icon, the full original box, including cables, car mountings, chargers and Middle East maps (CD).
After trying to install maps, I found out, that I'm missing memory card (128MB), which I bought next day for DHS 270.00 from 'Abdullah Mohd General Ibrahim General Est (near Gold Souq)', website is just bad as possible, but they understand what they are selling...
In 2008 I bought update for Middle East Maps, directly from Garmin UK, for another 600 Dhs...
Since that time, there were available only updates for Garmin Bios, current version is 5.60, there are coming no more updates for Maps.
If today is somebody offering on the market outdated and no more supported product, for the price higher as at original release days, there must be something wrong with it...
If somebody would ask me, if I would sell my product today, I would say, yes, and purchase for the same price, more current one, with support.
