+TeamAO Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Apparently one thread says you can get them for free. Buy them on eBay, if you want cheap. Quote Link to comment
+Mr. 0 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 That sure beats the $99 I paid for my Magellan Meridian (basic green). For that kind of price, or free even, you really can't go wrong. Heck, you could leave them as trade items. Quote Link to comment
bogleman Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I got my first GPS from Santa in 1997-98 (some time I don't know) - it was free. The ETREX is a good starter unit and the price is right. Save your allowance & lunch money and get one that will zoom in closer than 200'. If you are a really good boy mabye Santa will leave you a nice one in your stocking this year - time is running out. After that I shelled out the big bucks $200 & $150 each. Next step is $500 - go me. Quote Link to comment

+Jhwk Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Maggie platinum for christmas - so it was free for me Quote Link to comment
+spamhead Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I bought my first GPS (Magellan 315) on clearance from Searsjust after Christmas 3 years ago. I think the list was 160 and it was $49.00. It was a great unit, and I gave it to my brother, trying to get him into geocaching. No luck,, Hopefully he'll get the fever . The bad news is I have the DataSend waypoint cd and I can't download the waypoint to my MeriGold. At least I can manually input them. Quote Link to comment
+spamhead Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 The Thought Police are out. that explains why my last post crapped out. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment
+Skip_ Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Free is what I paid for mine, and my next one will be too. I got my first one, a Magellan SporTrak, with points from sales incentives, and I'm less than 200 points from a Garmin GPS V. Quote Link to comment
rynd Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I got a brand new yellow etrex onetime for $25. Well $25 plus a few Marlboro miles so that's pretty good. Make that $25 plus a bunch of miles, thats still pretty good isn't it? You know it seems that I rember that it was more like $25 plus a couple thousand miles but I don't thinks that's that bad. How's that saying go... somthing about seven minutes of your life for every cigarette you smoke... . Now that I think about it, that was an expensive GPS ! Quote Link to comment
+the hermit crabs Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Our first one was free. We'd be hearing about geocaching for a while, but couldn't bring ourselves to actually buy a GPSr just to try it out. We waited until we had enough credit-card rebate points to exchange for a Geko 101. Quote Link to comment
