Why are there so many refurbished Garmin GPS's for sale. Is it because they sella ton, and get a 1/2 ton returned ? Are people taking one trip and returning units?Any ideas????

I am also looking for the best unit; especially for rural areas as we do a lot of hiking. We have been depending on cell phone GPS navigation but it sure doesn't work well in the Far West nor on a recent hiking trip to the Great Smokys and Blue Ridge Mountains. I am thinking of the Garmin nvi 2797LMT 7-Inch or the Garmin nvi 3597LMTHD 5-Inch. Not sure what one I will pick but there are 100's to choose from and reviews are all over the place. Wish Amazon provided for comparisons. Try Best Buy for details, they do a much better job of showing all features and allow comparisons. Then search the web for that unit and get the best price (not always on Amazon).

Thank you. Sounds good. Now I want to find it in combo with the NuMaps Lifetime. Nuvi combo have the NuMaps Lifetime for $50 extra, but I can't find this with a combo yet.----------------Garmin said the one with lifetime update for maps (3790LMT) would be out in September, keep checking their website. Said the cost was $499.99. I hate to spend that money, but am getting the voice activated one for safety reasons. Said it was shipped to Best Buy, but I can find it only in Canada...

I drive truck, but still use an auto GPS. I was considering upgrading to a truck model before Christmas, but the prices for them wasn't discounted much. I did do a bunch of research, though. From everything I read, it sounds like none of the models are perfect, and some are a waste of money. The one that seems to have the least complaints, and a decent amount of features, was the Garman 465T.

To my knowledge, this is still the most current - and best - GPS Garmin produces for most consumers. Those of us wanting the 3597LMTHD had to wait until it's release in May of this year, following our pre-order of same. I believe there is a new "Big Rig" device out there, customized for over-road truck drivers. I've seen nothing else more current from Garmin. Hope this satisfactorily answers your question.

yep - i agree - i ALMOST ordered it last night...glad I didn't. even more interesting will be the price they'll have when it's offered by amazon direct - i am still trying to decide between the 765T and the 265 WT, which, by the way has become 7 bucks cheaper than last night !!!MediaHub - i feel like we will both end up with a good in-car nav - let's keep in touch here and try to make a good decision. www.gpsrmagazine.com has a great review/analysis of 265WT and 765T...

can't answer that question but don't think these are the best gps watch for the price. when they run out of power they reset the date and take a while to find satellites. another option is choosing an older model garmin like a forerunner 405, I had one for 5 years and bought my son the same last year, much more reliable

I will definitely recommend Nuvi 370 over 270 because of several reasons. Text to speech is definitely very helpful believe me I have a Nuvi 200 which doesnot speak street names, which is sometimes very frustrating. I have missed turns which were very close to each other. Name of the street while driving in busy streets is surely very helpful. This would be even more helpful especially in Europe. Other features are worth the extra $70-$80. Live traffic, Bluetooth are amongst them. I will be buying 370 for my Europe trip pretty soon, just looking for the good price.

Garmin, here in Canada, has admitted the Nuvi 660 has a chronic antenna problem. My only solution is to have it replaced with a refurb unit at Garmin's Canadian tech contractor for $305.00That's a lot to spend on a $600 piece of technology only 14 months old.Shame on Garmin....and shame on me for making the purchase....

I purchased 3 of these. Would I do it again? ABSOLUTELY NOT! We found the GPS to be outdated and expensive to update. Radar detector was so-so. Of course, this is just my opinion. We upgraded to the 9500's and a Max; that was the proper choice.

This discussion is about the Garmin 360 though. You can buy a whol new Garmin for about $150-200.00.

I think there is a market for this 295W with a larger screen, probably 5". Anyone have any ideas of where to find one of any brand GPS with Wifi, or is this it?

mine would not work, had to send it back. i am in europe now and would recommend you get a different brand. its not a very good gps. all the maps are outdated. sorry, wish i would have bought something else. when i sent mine back it took a couple of weeks and they sent a refurbished unit. bad news...
