Win a SPOT Satellite Messenger Emergency Tracker GPS

I tweeted this earlier today, and wanted to post a link to the page too. If you enjoy the back country, you should consider a SPOT Tracking GPS. The SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger
allows you to send an SOS message to authorities, a personal message to friends, or an "I/'m OK" message through a satellite system not through a cellular system. So, no matter how far you are out there, you can still get word back on your status.

Win a Garmin Nuvi 200 - Tim Horton's Roll-Up
Gotta love a free GPS; well Tim Horton's is giving away 5,000 Garmin Nuvi 250 GPS navigation devices, as well as some other things like coffee, Toyota Matrix and a few boats. The contest is based on getting a coffee cup, and rolling up the coffee cup rim to see what you've won; odds are 1 in 9 that you win something (like a free coffee or better). There are alternate ways of entering other than breaking into a Tim Horton's and stealing a case of cups, like mailing away for a free entry. See their contest rules for details (pdf link).

Win a TomTom ONE

The TomTom Blog, Club TomTom is giving away a new TomTom ONE GPS Navigation System. Create a video along their theme and submit it to enter to win. Pretty easy to do with any of the newer digital cameras these days, so what are you waiting for?
While you are over there, you’ll notice that TomTom got into the Pan Mass Challenge again this year, riding their bikes last weekend to raise money for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute’s Jimmy Fund charity arm. Leading the charge was TomTom’s US president Jocelyn Vigreux. Last year the PMC raised over $26 million in the country’s largest sports related fundraiser of its kind. If you want to donate to the PMC, you can through the TomTom webpage on the PMC site; just click "Make an eGift" on the right side of the page.
Before you head over there, sign up for our newsletter and you’ll be registered for a new Garmin Nuvi 350. Easy to do; all of our news delivered to your inbox every Monday morning. Just put your email address in the box below and hit “Subscribe”. Good Luck!
Now if I could just find you a Magellan or a Mio giveaway we’d have a Trifecta….

Win A Garmin Nuvi 350

Love these contests that give away GPS units, especially good ones. This one comes from Travel and Leisure magazine. You just need to write in about a great road trip.... in either North America or Europe. What do they say at Staples? "That was Easy."

Get Married - Get a Free Nuvi 350

Yea, there's a catch, you have to get married in WalMart. Walmart is giving away a wedding package to seven couples who will walk down the WalMart aisle on 07/07/07, and receive a prize package worth more than $5,000 (Why didn't they make it worth $7,777?). Anyway, one of the items in the package is a Garmin Nuvi 350.
So think about it, you can either get married in a WalMart and get a free Nuvi 350, or you could plunk down the $399 and skip the "dream" package.

I love the recent price cut on the TomTom ONE that lowered the price to below $300, well how about a free TomTom ONE. TomTom generously donated a TomTom ONE as a give away for a contest running over at the TomTomForums (unaffiliated with the TomTom company). So go on over to the forums and check them out to see what the rules are to get a free TomTom ONE.

Win A Garmin Nuvi 660

Yes, you could win a Garmin Nuvi 660 if you have what it takes to spoof the Garmin Super Bowl commercial. The folks over at Garmin are having a lot of fun and creating a bit of buzz to go along with the company's first Super Bowl commercial, and as a result, they are offering you a Nuvi 660. The catch is that you will need to spoof the Garmin commercial that is going to air on the Super Bowl and be the best of all the submissions. So, get out the camcorder, wrap yourself in aluminum foil and get going. Full rules at Garmin Blogs.
