The VSC-N530A GPS by Visco is a clone of the Holux GPSmile 52+. Or at the very least, a damn fine copy. 
Note the the called Holuxshell in the residentflash directories:
Visco offers map files to registered GPS owners on their website. Its going to take me 72 hours of straight downloading on dialup just to recieve them. If anyone out there has access to the files could they find out if the maps include Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico?
Bought my first GPS this past weekend. Albertsons was selling some for $99 a piece. I could not pass that up. It is very basic, but that is fine by me. While it will play mp3′s, the unit has no headphone out put.
A few interesting tidbits about the VSC-N530A. It is running Windows CE 4.2, which means that once unlocked, other software can run on it. A link on the Fatwallet forums to GpsPasSion confirmed as much for me. After following the instructions at GpSPasSion, I was able to run the WinCE desktop. My next step is to try other software on the GPS unit.
One other thing. The file structure on the unit shows a file called holuxshell. This leads me to believe that the unit in the GpSPasSion thread that is made by a company called Holux, is probably very close, perhaps rebadged, to my own unit “made” by Visco.
A sad story for you all. I just went to my first metal concert at the age of 27. A direct result of not getting into metal until my mid 20′s.
I saw Nightwish (with Paradise Lost) at the Sunshine Theater on November 8th. I had been wanting to see them live since 2004. In 2005 I was supposed to see them in San Fransisco, but the USA tour was canceled due to reasons that can be found else where. I had tickets, and while they were refuended, the Ticketmaster fees were not. Grumble grumble. Two years later I see them with a new female Vocalist by the name of Anette Olzon.
The show was excellent. The band has an excellent stage presence which compounded with the energy they produce made for a great night. I hope Nightwish makes their way back to Albuquerque again.
