Hi all,
Am stuck, As i have been offered a magellan fx324 gps unit and it is at a good price($800 with books box and aerial). The thing i am stuck on is that i know they have been discontinued but dont know of any info on the replacement unit. i know the fx324 unit is the shzit but dont want to get it an then find out in 6 months i should have held off.

The way it has been explained to me was "its like paying for a gq or 80 in the year 2006, you know they will work, an work well but are just getin older".

please if anyone could help it would be great.
cheers :P

nothing close for that money now. top unit. similar featured units are in the 2k bracket. you can get cheaper garmins with infra red remote keypads buy why bother. maps are easy to work etc. if i was to upgrade would use a 12"laptop or a screen and a laptop. cheers bru

Hang off and watch ebay, you`ll get one for around $400 or $500 if your not in a hurry. I was in a hurry and got mine for $700 on ebay.

They were discontinued a good while ago (about 2 years from memory).

There has not been a replacement with similar features (large screen and keypad) from Magellan.
