GPS Receiver (Japan) Review

Gamebrink has posted a review of the Japanese Sony GPS receiver using Deniska's Map This! homebrew application. Since the reviewer wasn't located in Japan, they weren't able to try out the bundled Maplus: Portable Navi software. From the article:
So is it really worth the $69.95 to import this thing? To put it simply, only get it if you live in Japan or have a homebrew capable PSP. Even then the Map This! software isn’t nearly as user friendly or complete as Maplus so it’s probably a better option to just buy a phone or some other piece of hardware with a GPS and mapping software. Then again after looking up what other GPS devices the homebrew supports on eBay, it’s actually not worth it at all. You can get a Holux GPSlim236 for a whopping $9.99 when I searched so unless you live in Japan or really want a Sony themed GPS then skip this until it’s released in your region with the appropriate software.
