These old GPS have the original map loaded, and they have not received any software (map) update since they were out of boxes. Live in the old part of town, the maps do just fine, there is no new constructions, but these map are out dated with the newly build toll roads and new houses in the suburbs.
I have been using iphone/Google map for driving instruction, it's small, hard to read. Should I spend the money to buy a new GPS/with newer map loaded? Using the iphone/google map for long distance driving drains the battery in couple hours, plug-in 12v charger to the iPhone solves that problem. But making direction changes on iPhone while driving is very DANGEROUS.
Has the GPSs unit becoming a disposable unit, like ink-jet printer cartridges where we buy the "maps" and the GPS units are free?

New GPS unit can be had for $130 (brand name - big 4.3" screen), and the cost of map update for the SONY runs $100, if you can get it..
So, Buy a new one- and give the old one away, is the right thing to do!
