That is awesome. I was looking at personal locater beacons this summer for a week long trip in the Selway Wilderness, and they were about $1000 plus the service. This is priced right, and I like the check in feature. Thanks for the heads up!

Amazon.com has it for $59.10. http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-MapSource-Top...8201&sr=8-1

I personally LIKE the fact that Garmin has firmware updates available for download all the time. They actually listen to users and make upgrades to the unit. I can then get those upgrades for free. I don't have to buy a whole new GPSr to get new features. I think it is a great way for them to do business. Would you have felt differently about the $60 had they not told you what the problem was? I think $60 is fair to have a working GPSr when it didn't work before. Sure beats the cost of a new unit.
