My only question would be "when do you plan on lowering the price to something realistic?" :laughing:
Seriously though, you could ask them "what benefits, other than some preloaded map data, makes this thing worth purchasing over a standard Android tablet that's significantly less money, and...
You should check out Lifestyle Overland's review:
It's very thorough and it's based on actual use – about 2 months worth of navigating around New Mexico.

FYI, there's a coupon code that was made available from Expedition Portal for 15% off that's good until the 15th - OX19E-OJ15
