TinaJ Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 I've been planning my shopping excursions for weeks, keeping an eye on the sales so I get the best deals for the dough, and NOW my hubby asks about a GPS???? I almost think I saw one in one of the lists, does anyone else remember? I'm sure enjoying keeping track of all the ads, only wish I'd known to keep an eye out for the darn GPS! Thanks! TinaJ
sweetheart76pa Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Im looking for one also... CC and Staples both have one for $149... that is the best deal I've seen so far
RossMAN Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Visit our Black Friday site and in the top right search for GPS Or you can click this link to search. Are you looking for a handheld GPS or one for your car?
eve Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 wow there are more then i knew of,lol does anyone have any experience with any of these? i've never had one and am looking for one
wavshrdr Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 What exactly are you looking for in a GPS, door to door routing or just finding your location while backpacking/camping/hunting? There are a lot of important features you might want/need depending on what you want to do. TomTom and Garmin are probably the two biggest players in the market at this point. There are of course other players but I'd say stick with one of these two to start with. TomTom tech support sucks but their product probably has the best user interface. Thankfully in the 3 years I have had TomTom (aka TT), I've only needed tech support twice and it wasn't because my device was bad but because I had a software question. Garmin USED to have great tech support. Now they are at best mediocre. The last device I bought from them, a Nuvi 360, had incredibly buggy software and now I am on like the 7th release of it. Post the models you might be interested in and I'll try to help.
eve Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 wow lol didn't realize all the diffrence. i want somethimg to get me around driving to new cities like a pro,lol no worries doesn't need to be for the car "car" i guess
Great Dane Mom Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 My 11 year old is interested in one for geo-caching. I wouldn't mind having one for the car. Is there one that would be suitable for both uses? I think my primary interest in one would be for her, if I had to choose.
