Portable/Handheld GPS Systems


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi all - first post here, despite being a member since last year...

 

I was wondering if anyone remembered whether they had handheld GPS systems on BF last year? I very much doubt they'd be a blitz item but if they were on sale that'd be nice :)

 

If they weren't on sale - anyone with higher BF knowledge then I, think they will be around this year? I kinda want one for the car.

 

Apologies if there is a thread already, had a quick look but didnt see anything

 

Thanks!

Welcome back :)

 

You can view the BF 2003-2005 lists here http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=47429

 

I just did a quick search (CTRL F) and found these for 2005 BF:

 

Best Buy Garmin StreetPilot C330 GPS with Touch Screen LCD - $599.99

Circuit City Garmin StreetPilot i5 GPS Navigation System - $399.99

Office Depot TomTom 300 GPS System w/ 1 Year Traffic Service - $649.99 AR

Radio Shack Magellan Roadmate 760 GPS - $999.99 w/ Free Handheld GPS

Sears Magellan Roadmate 760 GPS w/ Free Explorist 200 GPS - $999.99

 

GPS prices have really fallen since then.

 

What's your budget?

 

Amazon has a few Garmin auto GPS units on sale:

 

$233 Garmin i3 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ACHVVE/

 

$329 Garmin i5 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BKN2Y0/

 

$318 Garmin c320 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007LJHV0/

 

If you can afford it, I would highly recommend the c320 or higher.

Thanks Ross!

 

I'm looking at the Garman C550 ($600-700) and the TomTom One ($500-600) currently.

 

I need to get one soonish and I'd hate for me to spend that kind of money and then see them whilst on my blitzing on BF!

 

Judging by the prices it doesnt seem like there was such a massive pricedrop on BF compared to everyday prices

They are gaining popularity, so someone could offer a really good deal on one of these. We will have to see.

That's on my wish list too - but I was hoping that I could get one for $200 or less at BB so I can use my BBB that I get from McDonalds Monopoly on it. However, it looks like I won't be able to get a decent one at that price. I'll probably have to go around getting lost all the time for another year or so - hope they keep coming down in price...

I've had a Garman Nuvi 350 for the past 4-5 months and its an incredible unit. I paid close to $800 at the time but I think you can get it for $499 either at BB or CC. I've taken this thing up and down the east coast so far and never ran into any problems. My suggestion is to go for the Nuvi 350. It won't dissapoint you.
