Steals and Deals on GPS Units - 11/24/06

WOW; Black Friday and we're mopping up things here at the Lodge. What a party; we had TONS of people stopping by before they headed out to the stores. I got a lot of nice "Thank Yous" for all the reviews and articles. Glad we could help.

How did you do? If things didn't work out, check out the deals below AND our Holiday GPS Shopping Guide for some guidance on what GPS is right for you.

The TomTom GiveGive program is still running - $50 off any TomTom GPS, now through 12/3. See our Review of the TomTom ONE. Reader Barbara M sent this in: TomTom ONE for $340 after GiveGive rebate, plus shipping at TheNerds

Deals on GPS's. Here’s a quick rundown:

Prices DOWN on Nuvi 660!

Garmin Nuvi 660 - Price easing to $759 today at Amazon, Very dynamic, but this is LOW ($749 is lowest); jump on them now before price goes back up. See our review - It's the best GPS I have used. Also check out the GPSNow site for what has been often a lower price, and FAST same day shipping.

Magellan RoadMate 760 - Price drops on this brings it to about $360!

Garmin Nuvi 350– recent price drops put it around $490.

Garmin Nuvi 360 is now around $530; WOW - a couple of weeks ago this was over $600.

Garmin StreetPilot C330 – Now below $350 for this very capable, maps pre-loaded device. Earlier this spring this was selling for the mid-to upper $400’s.

Garmin StreetPilot C340 – Also price dropped, now selling for around $450. Optional traffic capability. See our review.

"2 'fer" Deal at MotionBased - Not really a deal on a GPS, but if you buy a year's subscription to the GPS fitness service, you get a second one free.
