Great Deals on All Kinds of GPS Systems

The more the GPS market matures, the bigger the market gets and the more deals become an everyday part of life; I love it. I was sitting back looking at the list of hot selling units on Amazon's Top 25 list, and was amazed at the opportunities out there.

OK With Refurbished Units?

Some people aren't OK with refurbished units, others think "Sweet Deal". If you are the latter, the big huge GPS market is generating more and more refubs for sale, and the prices are insane.

  • TomTom ONE 3rd Ed - $89 - Entry level device with Maps of North America. Solid Navigation for under $90 with Free Shipping.
  • TomTom GO 720 - $159 - Widescreen, Text to Speech, Maps of North America, and Bluetooth handsfree capabilities. Plus has the fun record your own voice for turn prompts feature. Loads of capability priced at cheap entry level pricing.
  • Magellan Maestro 4250 - $119 - Widescreen, Text to Speech, AAA database - lots of features at an unbelievable price. I rate the Magellans down a bit on their interface vs. the TomTom and Garmins, but if you can deal with it; that's a great price.   

Other Great Deals

Don't Want a Refurb, but still want a great deal? Here are a few.

  • Garmin Nuvi 760 - $249 - Widescreen, advanced routing, Bluetooth Handsfree, and recently dropped from over $300, this is the best deal going these days on a major maker GPS. Sure it's a generation older than the latest units, but there's a lot of capability there, and they still ship with the latest maps.
  • Garmin Nuvi 270 - $129 - Standard screen, no text to speech would say it's an entry level device, but it comes with Maps of North America and Western Europe. If you are heading to europe and wanted to add those maps to another unit, they would cost $149!!!!!.... amazing deal here.
  • Mio C320 - $99 - Widescreen navigator with text to speech, it's another amazing deal. The interface is a bit harder to master than the tomTom or Garmin; includes a lot of features. Check out my review before buying.
