Looking to update my GPS March 12, 2010, 10:58:53 pm Yahoo Message Number: 110993I 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. Help Lenore

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:http://tinyurl.com/yjbzjhu> But better still, Amazon also has the Nüvi 765T as a refurbished (by Garmin) unit with full warranty for just $187 with free shipping:http://tinyurl.com/ydvfuz7> Personally, I'd buy the refurb. I've had lots of them over the years (GPss, cameras, computers, etc), and all worked like new.Andy Bairdhttp://www.andybaird.com/travels/

At least the one I have purchased. It seems they have several refurbs about the time they are getting ready to discontinue the item.Joe Hamm

That costs about $120.00 from Garmin. The Costco unit includes lifetime map upgrades. Make sure you are comparing apples to apples.MontiMonument, CO

I did want the lifetime maps as I usually keep electronics for way too long. Thanks everyone Lenore 23.5 FLSilver Lining
