My Garmin was stolen when from my car whenit was parked. I was quite satisfied with it. But I got a Garmin nuvi which was better. I paid 99 dollars for it because it was refurbished and saved. I bought it at Microcenter if you have that store near you I would shop there and get a refurbished one.
Back when these were expensive, many people would "buy" a GPS to use on a vacation, then return it. Another scam was when flat panel TVs were dropping fast in price. Some customers would return them periodically to get a nicer or cheaper model every few months. They don't think so but this is theft, driving up prices for the rest of us. This is mostly Obama's voter base, although I did know one communist-country foreign-born/now conservative that did this.
