TigerGPS always has some good deals over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, and this year is no exception. All are pretty good, but  the best of the bunch is the zumo. We rarely see motorcycle GPS receivers discounted so heavily. It’s nice to see good deals on trucker and boater-friendly models too. The deals run through Cyber Monday, while supplies last.

Any mariners out there? This is an amazing deal at West Marine: the Garmin Oregon 400c – Only $299.99!. There’s no formal expiration date, so we don’t know how long the deal will last. If you see that it’s gone, please drop a comment below. This pricing is good through December 24.

I haven’t reviewed this model, but I have reviewed the Oregon 400t. Its basically the same except that instead of topo maps, you get built-in BlueChart® g2 coastal charts and a worldwide basemap with imagery.
