We look forward to REI’s anniversary sale every year; this time they have two of the newest Garmin handhelds on sale through May 28, the GPSMAP 62s and eTrex 30. And while they didn’t show up in the sales flyer, and we can’t guarantee the end date, they’ve got some other great deals as well. Read on for the details:

Amazon has two handheld GPS sales going on right now:

• This one ends Sunday, December 18 still going
• While this one ends Wednesday, December 21 stil going

Now that doesn’t mean that the prices and models listed won’t change, and quantities are limited, so if you see something you want, I’d grab it. The best deals seem to be on the Garmin Oregon 550 ($359.99) and the new GPSMAP 62stc ($479.99), although the prices aren’t too bad on the Oregon 450 ($259) and the GPSMAP 62s ($299) either. There are other deals too, so check them out. Oh, and Amazon offers free delivery by the 24th with Super Saver shipping orders placed through Monday.

Ok folks, this one may be a fluke, but it’s worth a try. Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS) has brought back their Black Friday pricing on GPS receivers. Sort of. What they are saying is that everything is 20-30% off today, but that Garmin units are excluded. Yet if you look at their GPS page, they’ve got some great deals on Garmin units. If you want one, I’d move fast. Here are some of the best; the inReach, eTrex and Montana deals are particularly hot:

• DeLorme inReach for $199.96; Compare at Amazon
• Garmin eTrex 10 for $95.99; Compare at Amazon
• Garmin eTrex 20 for $151.99; review / Compare at Amazon

If you don’t see the model you’re looking for, try searching here by model name and number.

UPDATE: They also have the inReach for the DeLorme PN-60w for the same price.

EMS.com has the newly released DeLorme inReach for Android 2-way satellite communicator on sale for $199.96. Here’s what we had to say about it in a recent post over at GPS Tracklog:

For those of you who don’t recall, this is one of the first consumer satellite communicators with two-way messaging capabilities, so search and rescue can tell you that they’re on their way to bail your ass out. It requires another device to pair with (to compose messages), which is why it comes in two flavors – one that pairs with Android smartphones and another for the DeLorme PN-60w.

GanderMountain.com has rolled out their long awaited holiday GPS sale, which includes the best deal I’ve seen yet on a Garmin 62s (Black Friday only on this one). Also, you can try this $20 off $100 order code, GMG 20, but I don’t know if it will work with these items. Here are all the details:

REI has the DeLorme Earthmate PN-60 GPS for $249.95 after a $50 mail in rebate (PDF link). And since it’s not a sale item, it’s eligible for the 10% annual dividend for REI members, bringing it down to under $220. That’s a whopping good deal!
Here’s a snippet from GPS Tracklog’s DeLorme Earthmate PN-60 review:

The DeLorme Earthmate PN-60 updates the PN-40 with improved battery life, expanded internal memory, and activities (similar to Garmin’s profiles). Power management is one of the biggest improvements, as short battery life was a common complaint with the PN-40.

Amazon has the DeLorme Earthmate PN-60W Portable GPS Navigator with SPOT Satellite Communicator on sale for $369.99 with free shipping.

Here’s a snippet from my DeLorme PN-60W + SPOT review at GPS Tracklog:

Call me crazy, but I love all day mountain bike rides where I go so far back that I’m unlikely to see another human; the more isolated and rugged, the better. I prefer to do these with my biking partner (the most wonderful wife in the world), but all too often I’m out there solo. What’s a crash-prone, wilderness-seeking, aging mountain biker to do? Get the Delorme Earthmate PN-60 with SPOT Satellite Communicator, that’s what. This combo (the two separate units are shown above) is the first consumer product to combine a GPS receiver with the ability to compose a custom message in the field and send it via satellite.
