Good GPS Deals Black Friday GPS Deals

This thread was originally started to post the many GPS Black Friday deals near Christmas. There is no reason we can't use this thread to post any current, good gps "deals" throughout the year. Please, no auction sites and follow the current forum link/URL post rules.
The next Black Friday will be on November 26, 2010 and will be here before we know it. (In the US that is a traditional day of sales that begin the Christmas/Holiday buying season) We don't expect many BF advertisements to turn up until mid-to-late October. As the GPS/PND/PNA deals come in we will begin posting them. Another related event is Black Monday (the first Monday following BF) when good deals are offered online. We'll try to post those as well.
Everyone is welcome to post BF deals as you come across them.

This looks like a really good deal to me - Amazon currently sells the Oregon 200 for $249. The Oregon 300 is an upgrade, with an electronic compass, altimeter and 1GB of internal memory.

If somebody wants City Navigator (even to use it on another unit), this seems like a good deal. But $200 is sweet, gotta admit. It crossed my mind that they meant topo 100k also, but the little product image does appear to be a 24k map. Let us know what shows up!

And I'm in Florida. No altimeter needed here
Am I missing something? :?
The Gander Mountain $200 deal for the Oregon 200 looks like a milestone to me... don't think I've ever seen an Oregon that cheap. But you will want to add a larger microSD card, so that's going to kick the price up a few bucks.
The $250 Oregon 300 at REI is also a great deal, and if you can afford the additional $50 it probably makes a lot of sense.
The smaller size of the Dakota is an attraction I suppose, although it's just slightly smaller. But for me personally, I'm a pixel junkie and just wouldn't be happy with a screen with the same resolution as my 60csx. I mean, that's the main reason I got the Oregon in the first place. We are talking about a significant difference too - 38,400 pixels on the Dakota vs 96,000 on the Oregon.
The new "custom maps" feature which lets you use USGS Topo's and aerial imagery will certainly be more useful on a higher resolution screen. But to confuse things just a bit, I believe the Dakota has the updated touchscreen which is supposed to be a little better under bright conditions. Only the Oregon 550 has this type of screen (although there are rumors of a new Oregon 450).
The Dakota 20 has the new 3d compass which sounds very nice, but it isn't on any of these BF sales.

So that's three Garmin devices in the top 10 products.
Just guessing from what I observed at Amazon and a smaller site that Garmin sold best (sold out quite quickly in fact) at the online retailers while TomTom pushed a lot of devices in Friday retail doorbusters. Looks like both Garmin and Tomtom may have done a little better than some might have expected so far this holiday season.

You got the good tools tho :wink:
Side note: West Marine says they have plenty of Oregon 400i's at a cheap, cheap $299. The manager said buyers think they were getting the equivalent of a chartplotter for less money. They aren't. so the associates spent more time the past couple of months explaining the differences, leaving a few 400's on the shelf. But at $299, it's a pretty good deal for those who just want a backup device or don't saltwater fish enough/have a large enough boat to justify a full-fledged chartplotter. Or just buy it to load 3rd party maps or to create your own custom fishing ones. You don't find this kind of price at a retailer very often.

The 400i is still going for $500. FWIW, here's Garmin's comparison of the Oregon 200, 300 and 400c:
https://buy.garmin.com/shop/compare.do?cID=145&compareProduct=14902&compareProduct=14903&compareProduct=14905
The 400i has US inland lakes pre-loaded and has 2gb of internal memory. The 400c has BlueChart® g2 coastal charts pre-loaded and 1gb of internal memory.
