GPS Steals and Deals - 2/9

We kicked off the week announcing the Via Michelin X-930 unit's arrival for review, and the news kept rolling:

  • Garmin and Ford team up to sell Nuvi's
  • TomTom has a new corporate logo
  • DeLorme announced their new handheld, the PN-20 with color Satellite images
  • Rumors of Mio new models coming this year: C320, C520, C720
  • And an Analyst thinks that new iPods will be GPS equipped.



    Steals and Deals

    We also continue to see some rock bottom bargains on the Mio C310x and the Via Michelin X-930. On the C310x, reader Joe left this comment: "I got the Mio C310x from Staples and had them price match Circuit City's website ($199). The other cool thing to do is look on eBay for the coupons; I found one that had $30 off any purchase $150 or over. So my total price came out to $169 plus tax and free shipping." - wow.

    Fry's is STILL selling the Mio C310x systems: $198 with free shipping. - Check out my review of the Mio C310x.

    Via Michelin X-930 - $199 at Amazon

    Garmin Forerunner Rebate - $50 back on a Forerunner 205 or 305, which drops the prices down significantly.

    The Nuvi 350 - Best Selling GPS at Amazon -

  • Garmin Nuvi 350– recent price drops put it around $460.

  • Garmin Nuvi 360 adds Bluetooth and is now around $550.


    Other GPS's. Here’s a quick rundown:

  • Garmin Nuvi 660 - Price hovering around $730 or so at Amazon, Very dynamic. See our review - Also check out the GPSNow site for what has been often a lower price, and Order by 5PM weekdays, you get same day cheap shipping. TheNerds has the Nuvi 660 for $701 - Use coupon code: affgoo3 for another $10 off if you use Google Checkout.

    Another place to check tht was sent in this week by a reader is GPSonSale.com for the Nuvi 660.

  • TomTom ONE for around $367 at Amazon with Free shipping. See my Review of the TomTom ONE.

  • The TomTom 910 has come down A LOT in the last few months, but has inched up a bit in the last week and is about $523 for this widescreened unit. Great if you have a Bluetooth phone and can use the TomTom PLUS system for weather, traffic (with subscription) and more.

  • Garmin StreetPilot C330 – Now below $320 for this very capable, maps pre-loaded device.
  • Garmin StreetPilot C340 – Think about moving up to the Garmin StreetPilot C530 whose price is down to $397. Won't speak street names, but Better chipset, and better screen for almost the same price ($10 more).
