Portable GPS Navigation Prices on the Decline

For the past couple of months, I have been searching for a good deal on a GPS for my brother who is graduating college and moving to Arizona in July. I have been browsing the website Slickdeals for deals on portable GPS navigation systems. I have noticed that models I have previously purchased for other family members have decreased nearly 40% in less than one year! I purchased a Garmin Nuvi 660 for a family member at $300+ last fall, and now I have seen them for under $200! I have also seen the more expensive Nuvi 760 for even cheaper than the 660.

Deals on units made by other manufacturers are also happening. Refurbished TomTom units can be had on occasion for between $60 and $70. Pharos, a company that is not as well known, but has been around for quite some time, recently had a unit available for just $65. Currently on the link above, you can get a TomTom One 140s, which has a 3.5" screen and text-to-speech, for just $117! If you have been waiting for a good time to jump onto the GPS bandwagon, now is a good time. If it isn't crucial that you have it now, you may want to wait for Black Friday deals in November. By that time there may be some units with a 4.3" widescreen for under $100!
