Deal of the Day - 1/8/09

Hello All,

--UPDATE--SOLD OUT--

I am not surprised, $80 GPS does not last long. Ok, here is what I will do for you all today, alternatives :-).

The GPS I have, and paid $220 for it. It is only $170 and totally worth the money. It has bluetooth and the best navigation system there is. Garmin is the best GPS on the market. In case you missed the above link, click here.

Here is a Navigon, with traffic updates, and a larger screen. I know nothing about Navigon, but the reviews are decent.

And last but not least, an Omnitech for $100 from Staples, although it is after rebate. It is wider than the Sony, with text to speech. The reviews are not as good as the navigon or the sony, but it is only $100 and it is in stock.

If you want to go with Sony, here is a bigger refurbished one from Sony. It has decent reviews here and here.

Sources on the tubes tell me this about the sony online store:
Call 1 (866) 525-7669 for extra discounts. They can usually apply a discount on certain products manually. NEVER place the order online by yourself. ALWAYS CALL!! Itll save you money, guaranteed!

Crutchfield is selling a Sony GPS for $80. This normally would not be that big of a deal however, this unit has Text to Speech, which is the most important feature on any GPS. This unit says turn right on Main Street, as opposed to turn right in 500 ft. When you are driving alone and using this as the navagator, that feature is invaluable. It allows you to keep your eyes on the road, not on the screen. You can find this unit here.

You can find reviews here. I could not find any other reviews for this unit.

I like GPS. I never thought I would need it or want it, as I can read a map. It is nice to never have to print out directions from google, and it is really nice to be able to find something, lets say a Subway, when you are driving a long distance and do not know the area. You can use the GPS to tell you there is a Subway in 10 miles and it is right off the off ramp of the interstate, making for a quick stop. That is great.

Later,

John
