cheg Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 I have had the Garmin c330 for a little over a year now and dont know what i would do with out it. Walmart has them them for $198.54.
Lidstrom Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 I would love to get one, but since money is tight it will have to be a truly incredible price value.
Cheri17 Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 My daughter has the TomTom one and she loves it:)
Sugar&Spice Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 A friend of mine used a borrowed TomTom for a trip recently and she absoluted raved about how much she Loved it.

Marcster Posted November 6, 2007 Author Posted November 6, 2007 How about Sears? There are a few in Sears' BF ad.http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/BlackFridaySales/Store/Sears -- you may have to advance a few pages... Also, with the growing popularity of these units, I'm sure that BB, CC, Staples, OD, and OM will all have units on sale. You can go to www.cnet.com for reviews. Did you have a price range in mind? I'm in the market for one too and I'll keep my eye out.
lost26 Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 my price range is not over 200.00 hopefuly...thats why i am wanting to find one on sale....good luck on your find also and thank you
Cannon1 Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Bump, jokingly the DW asked last night that "we don't need one-right?" meaning, she's throwing a line out there to see what we'll get each other.
Marcster Posted November 7, 2007 Author Posted November 7, 2007 ...but the closest pepboys to me is 3 hours away...Are you sure? They seem to be all over:http://pepboysstorelocator.shoplocal.com/pepboys/store_finder.aspx?action=storefindernuep

krstee Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Originally I had only planned to ask "Santa" for a new lense and flash for my DSLR I got last year - but now that I am seeing these GPS units in the ads, I am beginning to rethink my priorities. I have tried to figure out which ones are listed and do a google search on reviews - but I can't find all of them (as of yet), so I'll just create my shopping list with all of them in it and then do the comparison from there.
shaneberry21 Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 I have a friend who travels for work in her car constantly and she first bought an $800.00 Tomtom. She had nothing but problems with it not working, the screen blanking out ect. She purchased the extended warranty plan and Best Buy finally got tired of giving her new Tomtoms and they gave her a Garmin replacement. It's been over a year and she hasn't had one problem. She literally uses it daily.
Marcster Posted November 7, 2007 Author Posted November 7, 2007 << As new ads become available, I'll update the list in the first post>> Check back... And keep the discussion in this thread.
mrn8 Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 I think that TomTom is the only company that offers free map software updates right now. For that reason alone, I'd seriously consider shopping their products. I love my Garmin handheld GPS, but if I want the maps updated, I have to buy a ~$100 piece of software.
queenofshopping Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 thanks for this! i have a perpetually lost cousin who could really use one of these!
Marcster Posted November 8, 2007 Author Posted November 8, 2007 http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Threads/bump2.gif Added the units from the LNT ad.
Marcster Posted November 8, 2007 Author Posted November 8, 2007 http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Threads/bump11.gif Added Military BX, hhregg, and Costco GPS units. We're up to 12 different units.
Marcster Posted November 8, 2007 Author Posted November 8, 2007 http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Threads/signs-bump.gif Added Target.
MonsterMom6 Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 we are looking for one right now too. we are seriously looking at this one for $239.99. its even $60 cheaper than walmart.com. .Hmmm...well, I can't include the link that was in the original message I'm trying to quote, but it's a Garmin c340 and was listed at Amazon. I got this one last year at Circuit City on BF for about the same price. It was a very good deal then, as others had it for $20 - $40 more for BF. We've been happy. I downloaded some new voices and so far "Lee", my hunky Australian has steered me right, although DH has a preference for "Jill" and "Emily".
rc2020 Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 after some research online.. i was going to go with the malgallan 3100 but I found out you can't get canada maps on this unit? anybody here can confirm this?

rc2020 Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 thanks! yeah only the 3104 model have canada maps.. guess i'll be going with the tomtom ONE since i just want a low-end one for fun:)
Marcster Posted November 9, 2007 Author Posted November 9, 2007 thanks! yeah only the 3104 model have canada maps.. guess i'll be going with the tomtom ONE since i just want a low-end one for fun:)The TomTom One seems to be the best one going for under $150. From what I've read, TomTom provides FREE map updates -- I know for a fact that Garmin charges -- not sure about the others.
Marcster Posted November 9, 2007 Author Posted November 9, 2007 http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Threads/2001edef.gif Added the BB & CC units. If you have the clams ($399.99), the Garmin nuvi 660 @ Best Buy seems to be the best one out there for BF.
emdiva Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 This guy has some detailed reviews and in this article promises to update his picks on the GPS units available on Black Friday. Will be very helpful if he follows up on this. He seems to be updating fairly well. I have no idea what to look for in a GPS unit so perhaps this resource will help: http://www.gpslodge.com/archives/014211.php Might check out the home page also: http://www.gpslodge.com/

rc2020 Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 there seems to be many different versions of the tomtom ONE so which store sells which models? any of them selling the 3rd edition?
Marcster Posted November 9, 2007 Author Posted November 9, 2007 there seems to be many different versions of the tomtom ONE so which store sells which models? any of them selling the 3rd edition?None of the stores are selling the 3rd edition at BF prices from what I gather. The TomTom One LE at Best Buy will be a compromise between the standard and the 3rd edition. Apparently it will be a BB exclusive. EDIT: We now have ads listing the 3rd edition... We didn't when I made the above statement.
kubla77 Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Tom Tom One LE for $120 at BB! This might be the best BF deal I've seen so far (as it suits my interests :) ).
SuggaD Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 A lot of these aren't that great deals. With a little research, many of these can be bought on line now for the same or a little higher price, and with free shipping.
