GPS units seldom ever sell for MSRP. Typically they sell for much less. Take the Garmin nuvi 250 and 350 for example ($429 and $536 MSRP respectively) and they've been widely selling for $359 and $449 for a while even here in Canada and some places even throw in the Garmin leather case (I would imagine even a more competitive street pricing south of the border).
I agree, even with those prices they're still too much it seems. But they're nothing compared to the option to have GPS factory built-in to the car. Here it's somewhere in the 2-3k range which is absurdly expensive.
