Now that I found this site I can tell, as the rest of us here can, that a $40 camera is not going to be be the authentic model. These Chinese sellers are profiting on the ignorance of buyers unfortunately. And looking on ebay, the majority of these cameras are being falsely advertised.
yes, buyers also have some unreasonable expectations at times and should consider partly to blame, as they say, if something seems too good to be true......
i'm not sure about things being too good to be true or partly blaming the buyer, after a little reading, and looking around i chose the gs5000 , a quick look on uk Ebay they ranged from £40 to £69. I bought one in the upper end of that price range. and i have a fake, but how could i know what was being sent to me, i did what i could with what little i knew, the advert had movie clips showing in the GPS software with file names of AMBA0002.MOV so it must have an Ambarella Chip in right????? that's great just what i was looking for yes?? .... well!! not really as it turns out i have a lower quality product that only locks on GPS when it feels like it and even if it does lock on all the software i can find ( have tried six different ones ) all put me driving in the north sea, one track had me doing nearly 3000kph, not bad for an old renault
. I'm not sure what more i could have done to ensure i got the correct "REAL" GS5000 as you have no way of knowing what you are going to be sent, and its now in the chinese new year and i'm getting no response to e-mails , so really i'm stuck with what i have .......BUGGER
