| Hey guys, I am thinking of buying this and was wondering if anyone has heard about it??! I found some good reviews about it on the net and seems to be a very reasonable price compared to others... |

Do you have any links? Where are you planning to use it? Does it have map support for your country?
The only mention I can find is in some half baked review sites with no images at all. I'd be very wary unless you can verify it will work here.

Had a read on reviewcenter site.
Seems to be all good from mid September to mid December. Price is quoted about 230€. 9 reviews in total.
One poster says it is a pure 'navigation' system without all the frills, build quality is good, very slim.
EDIT.
Below is a cut and paste from another Forum.
It is distributed by Zentek in Hong Kong, made in China, supposedly designed by Keiro of Japan. It is sold a lot on Ebay in Europe.
It comes with IGO 8 Full size SD cards and a full range Europe (inc Russia) map system. The SD Card has an IGO sticker on it.
It looks legal. How does someone who wants to do it right, get access to a stable legal system of support for this?

E-Bay and dodgy GPS related products are quite common, if you do purchase such a unit and it goes wrong don't expect much in way of support from IGo or the original seller.
At the prices quoted above you could purchase a high end TomTom or Garmin device from a reputable retailer - Mike |

What I thought Mike. That quote was from around July I think, so exchange rate would have been better then. Personally I would like to see it in the flesh so to speak before considering to buy it.
A lot wrong with TT and the others, but at least you know where you are with them from the start
