The guy posted specific prices and plans associated with using the N95.
Where do you think he would've gotten this information from? Certainly he
would not have made it up. The info had to come from somewhere.

Where did I say that? I said that it's cheaper to buy a navigator. Most if
not all offer a free upgrade to the next release of the maps. After that
though, you're looking at around $300 for Tom Tom maps as one example, and
more for the Garmin City Navigator maps.

And quite a few navigators sell for around that price now, some even less.
