Looking to update my GPS
Yahoo Message Number: 110993
I know this has been asked many times but the information changes so quickly.
I am looking to upgrade my 6 year old GPS.  Costco has the Garmin Nuvi 765T for $249.99 after $100.00 off. Everything I know about electronics I have learned from this board.
Should I order this, or any other ideas. I think I want the traffic feature.

 The Nüvi 765T is a good all-around GPS with pretty much every feature you could want. I'm pretty sure you'll be happy with it. :-)
 "Amazon has the same [Nüvi 765T] for $225 and free shipping."

Yes, that's a better deal than Costco's. Here's a link:

 But better still, Amazon also has the Nüvi 765T as a refurbished (by Garmin) unit with full warranty for just $187 with free shipping:

 Personally, I'd buy the refurb. I've had lots of them over the years (GPss, cameras, computers, etc), and all worked like new.

Lenore, I would buy the refurb as Andy suggested.  They work like new because I think they are new.  At least the one I have purchased.  It seems they have several refurbs about the time they are getting ready to discontinue the item.

Unless I missed something in my quick scan of the Amazon Garmin listings, they do not include the lifetime map upgrades.  That costs about $120.00 from Garmin.  The Costco unit includes lifetime map upgrades.  Make sure you are comparing apples to apples.

 That is what I was thinking. I did want the lifetime maps as I usually keep electronics for way too long. Thanks everyone
