Yeah - they "missed the opportunity" to sell me one as well for somewhat different reasons. I was primarily interested in the mapping functionality (specifically being able to enter client locations on the map...) and the GPS was a bonus that might come in handy. The new version of Mapopolis does all I need for the mapping so I ended up with an 8MB Flash Module for map storage instead. I might pick up a waterproof handheld GPS at some point for boat/canoe trips and throw it in my briefcase just in case I get really lost...
