If anyone is in the market for a nice GPS, I noticed that West Marine has the Oregon 400C on-sale for $299. That’s $200 of MSRP and a price that’s below the refurbished (newly overhauled) units that you can find on ebay.
Here’s a review, http://tinyurl.com/ykhj6md , obviously written by someone who sells them and a review here http://tinyurl.com/px5jhd of the 400t which is the same gps but with a different map set. “T” designates topo maps and the “C” in the one on-sale designates it’s loaded with Garmin’s BlueChart g2 coastal charts.
You can see some prices here: http://tinyurl.com/ykgbkm8 West Marine is listed and the only one below their price is for a refurbished unit. There’s another unrated dealer who has the same price as WM but isn’t rated.
Hope this helps someone in the market for a GPS.
