Garmin GPS Receivers on (Big Time) Sale!

What with the number of GPS manufacturers offering electronic products these days, it shouldn't be a surprise that a number of them are selling their receivers for astonishingly low prices; Garmin, not to left in the dust, joins in with a number of their fine units. For example -- the Nuvi 1450LMT Navigator ($130, was $320) with the 5" touchscreen display. The best part? Free lifetime (4X annually) and continual traffic updates on this state of the art computer; voice prompt turn-by-turn directions, Lane Assist and Junction View, and if you've a need to be really stingy with your fuel use, the ecoRoute map planning. Other clever features -- 10 route memory, bread crumb trail, terrain elevation contours. Comes with a mounting cup, USB cable, and a detailed operators manual.

For the adventurer in you, the Garmin eTrex Venture GPS ($119, was $170). The waterproof case encapsulates a high-gain WAAS receiver for all-around performance, even in deep cover or canyons. The base map -- covering the US, Canada, Mexico, and Central and South America -- replicates waterways, road networks, RR lines, and coastlines. Featherlight at fewer than 6 ounces, the GPS has a 500 waypoint storage capacity, memory for 10 trip logs, side mount buttons for one-handed operation, and will operate some 14 hours on a pair of AA batteries (you supply 'em).

For the dedicated (or weekend) runner, the Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS ($239, was $300). A wrist-mounted training monitor offers, among a host of training data, precise speed, distance run, pace information, heart rate, and rudimentary mapping, waypoints, and multiple running routes. The high-resolution display, easy to manage (on the run) button functions, and light weight of the receiver all make it easy to put together a comprehensive training plan, and stick with it. Add to that the Garmin Virtual Training Partner and you have a digital competitor close at hand (literally). When you're finished with your run, use the USB cable to connect with your computer, download the data, and marvel at what an athlete you are! Oh, yeah!
