Amazing GPS sale at REI.com thru December 1

This one surprised me. REI isn’t typically known for discounting products, but they’ve got some great GPS deals from Nov. 21 to Dec. 1. And by the way, shipping is $4.99 for members and everything carries REI’s ironclad guarantee. On to the deals. The first six in particular are amazing. All Amazon comparison prices are as of 11/19.
- Garmin nuvi 500 GPS - $299.99. A “crossover unit” that does double duty on the road or on the trail. I wasn’t that impressed when I tried it, but there have been some firmware updates to improve it since then. This unit was $386 when I checked it at Amazon. (Review)
- Garmin nuvi 255 Personal Travel Assistant - $174.99. A text-to-speech unit in the nuvi series that I called “the best entry level GPS on the market.” $199 at Amazon when I checked. (Review)
- Garmin Forerunner 50 - $63.99. A non-GPS heart rate monitor. $82 at Amazon.
- Garmin Forerunner 305 - $199.99. Great for runners. $278 at Amazon. (Review)
- TomTom ONE 125 - $99.99. $162 at Amazon. A stripped down version of the TomTom ONE 130 (see below). I would expect no more than 2-3 million points of interest (POIs).
- TomTom Go 730 GPS Receiver - $349.99. TomTom’s next to the top of the line unit; with voice entry. $278 at Amazon. (Review)
- TomTom ONE 130 GPS Receiver - $149.99. TomTom’s newest entry-level GPS. Same price at Amazon. (Review)
- TomTom ONE 130-S GPS Receiver - $199.99. Adds text-to-speech. Same price at Amazon. (Review)

We have a winner!

A random drawing of entries was done this morning, and we now have a winner of the Navigon 7200T. Robert Griswold is the lucky fellow; he added comment number 83…
“I have been in the market for a GPS for some time and this site looks like a great place to find the best deals, which is good because price is a key determinant for me and I, like most consumers, want the best bang for my buck! That being said, please enter me into the contest for the Navigon 7200T. Also, I have subscribed to your RSS feed for a second entry, but more importantly for great deals on GPS units should I not win!”
Thanks again to Navigon for supplying the 7200T as the prize, and thanks to everyone who entered, subscribed and gave us some link love! Now don’t go away, ’cause we’ve got some great deals coming. And you don’t even have to wait till Black Friday. I expect to have a big surprise for everyone this Friday, so stay tuned.

Garmin Nuvi 850 drops again to $419.99
Garmin nüvi 850 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator via Amazon.
We posted this when it was listed for $447.95, and now it’s dropped again. It’s $419.99 right now — the lowest price I’ve seen there. Shipping is $12.95; it’s coming from a third-part vendor. This is an unadvertised deal, and Amazon’s prices fluctuate dramatically, so there’s no telling how long it will last.

Halloween day only - 40% off InvisibleSHIELD
DEAL EXPIRED!
My apologies to GPS Tracklog readers for the duplicate posting. I won’t do it to often but some deals are just too good to not get it out to the widest possible audience. As I said there…
I also wanted to throw it out there for those of you not familiar with this great product. And it’s not just for GPS — it’s great for iPhones, iPods or anything with a screen that can be scratched. I just put one on my Garmin Oregon 400t touchscreen GPS and I’m very happy with the results. I’ve seen no noticeable degradation in visibility.
So here’s the deal… Halloween Special. 40% OFF All invisibleSHIELDs
