GPS Deals Special - Staples Flier
Thought I would post some guidance on the Sunday Staples Flier - some good deals and some not so good deals. Overall, Staples can be a great place to get a deal on a GPS; they offer door-bustin' prices every now and then, but have some pretty high prices on a normal day to day basis. Usually most bricks and mortar store fliers have terrible prices with their "Specials" being priced far above regular everyday prices from trusted online sites like Amazon. (Don't even get me started on Best Buy - bottom line is they rarely are the best buy.)
Front Page - Magellan 2000 - $179 "Lowest Price Ever" they claim - skip it; hard to navigate and old interface. Better deals on either the Mio or TomTom below. See my Full Review of the Magellan RoadMate 2000.
TomTom ONE - $199 - very good price on a good navigator. TomTom has one of the easiest interfaces, second to Garmin in my mind, and is the best value for the money at this price. Well worth the extra $20 over the Magellan.
Mio C220 - $149 - very good price for this entry level GPS. See my Full Review of the Mio C220 for more performance details. Note: The Mio C230 was recently released and if you want to stay in the Mio family, the Mio C230 has a brighter screen and Text to Speech. The Mio C230 is $189 at Amazon.
Garmin Nuvi 200 - $349 then add to cart and add coupon to save another $100; Net $249. For reference, the Nuvi 200 is $244 at Amazon with free shipping. Your call. I like the Nuvi 200/250 units, good interface; no text-to-speech. See my Full Review on the Nuvi 200/250.
Magellan Maestro 4000 - $299 - Amazon has the Magellan Maestro 4000 for around $280. Either get the cheaper price online or seriously consider the Garmin Nuvi 200W for $334 at Amazon with free shipping. Much better interface/ easier to use.
