+res2100 Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 Ok I am new and this geocaching stuff sounds like a lot of fun. I am just outside Toronto, Ontario, Canada and am wondering what store I would go to to buy a GPS. Also what are the price ranges? I assume a low end one would be good enough to start. Also, any places on the net to buy one, preferably located in Canada. What about Ebay, are there good deals on there? Since I am new I really don't know what a good price would be. http://ca.geocities.com/rsab2100/pond.html Quote Link to comment
+TuskerKeg w/GeoDog Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 Try www.gpscentral.ca You probably won't find better prices in Canada plus you don't pay pst as the company is in Calgary. Shipping is also very reasonable. And from my experience and from others that I have read about they are a very good company. Quote Link to comment
+Markwell Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 There is a US based net one that I used for my most recent puchase... www.tvnav.com . They have an 800 number and are extremely knowledgable about GPS units. I'm not sure how their prices compare out, but when I had a memory glitch in my 76s about 40 days after I got it, I shipped it back to them and they shipped me out a brand new one. Very nice.

Team O.P.P. Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 My guess is you'd like to see the darned things in person before plunking down the cash. If that's the case, you can go to Best Buy, Future Shop, WalMart, Canadian Tire or LeBaron's. I've noticed that GPSr's have become more popular lately that regular electronics stores have started carrying them (read: Future Shop). Some well-outfitted outdoor shops also carry them (many downtown). Even Coast Mountain Sports carries a small selection of GPSr's. Good luck! Quote Link to comment
+BlackstoneVal Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 SEARS carry a few units and for some reason our local store has a closeout sale on Magellan 315 and 330. Quote Link to comment
