June 27, 20241 yr Garmin GPS finally took a shit on me, looking for a new dash top unit (truck is not new enough to have built in). Don't like to use the Googs on my phone because talking while using GPS @ the same time is a headache due to overlapping speech, slow for phone to correct orientation of map, SMS interference, etc. Anyway. Garmin site shows ~$ 300, sus website shows $ 200 inclusive to s&h... "free returns", etc. Is AliExpress the Chinese AliBaba thing? If I purchase using my CapitalOne MasterCard & the buy goes sideways, am I in any way protected? ⅓ / $ 100⁰⁰ off seems too good to be true. 2 website screenshots shown.

June 28, 20241 yr Aliexpress is the retail version of the alibaba wholesaler market. I doubt Garmin participates so you're more than likely looking at a fake product

June 28, 20241 yr I know it was Garvin on the show, but I was tempted by the proximate comedy of a male prostitute being the voiceover guide of a mobile mapping system. I mean, we are two wild and crazy guys!

No, however I do have a short Panamanian that hangs out under the dash & screams out directions like I'm racing RallyCar Group B. Very difficult because he cannot actually see the road that well & uses a mirror on a Selfie Stick like a periscope.
