That's great, The 5.3" GPS doesn't have FM transmitter :( 103$ for 1 5.3" GPS seems to be a good deal.

Let me know if i can meet you and check out your PND when you receive it.

What is the status of the shipment?

just out of curiosity, apart from DX any other int'l site that ships to India?
which is tried and tested?

janitha · 22nd September 2009, 22:36

Are those supplied by DX branded ones?

Ebay India has started a service where

You buy something from Ebay US
Ebay calculates shipping to India + Customs + Octroi + Other taxes in India
You pay to Ebay India in INR
If the item is not delivered to you in a fixed timeframe (I think 20 days) for WHATEVER reason, you get full refund. E.g. if it detained in customs for 4 weeks you don't have to p[ay anything you get your money back.

But cost is higher than Garmin units available in India (officially).

There are other sites like DX (E.g. china supply) all of them have similar prices and issues (Like RMA in case of DOA).

You can try 20north.com as well. I have not tried my self, but heard on other forums. Their shipping period is from 2 weeks to 2 months (depending on customs delay)
