I don't know if this is the correct place to post this, or even if this worked, but I did a lot of shopping around when I first purchased my GPS so when I saw the ad I figured I would post it, because I would have appreciated it. Anyway, if anyone belongs to Costco, (It's like BJ's or Sam's Club), I just saw an offer in the flyer good until 10/29, for a 500LE WITH 3-D Topo software included for $199.99 delivered. Hopefully this may help someone.
1st post here. Probably more once I get my GPSr and get into the steep part of the learning curve.
I bought the 500LE last night on costco.com. You can still order if you are not a member, they just charge a 5% fee on top of the price, plus sales tax, as I think most states have a Costco store. I paid a total of about $205, and this includes Mapsend Topo 3D. So still much (~$80) cheaper than any comparable (i.e. color screen, expandable memory, and topo software) Garmin or Magellan offer.
Looking forward to getting started in Geocaching. My 7-year-old keeps saying "When are we going to go look for treasure?"
