usedtobelieve Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 For anyone who is Canadian (or American, and doesn't mind paying a little more) I found http://www.gpscity.ca/ today and bought a REALLY nice unitl for a FRACTION of the price I found them online and in store. I had an address problem and their customer support fixed it up right away and sent out my unit special delivery. Great retailer ! Good luck shopping. Quote Link to comment

+RussellM Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 And the prices don't seem that great. A few years ago when the exchange was better, i would have been jumping in my car and going to get one now. Yet with us = canada dollar, it isn't that great. Look on amazon.com, the free shipping is nice too. Quote Link to comment

+maldar Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 There have been other post like this that have not been locked. Personally I think that a heads up on a good deal is good all around. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 The GPS Units and Software forum is a better home than the GPS Garage Sale forum for unsolicited, legit comments about hardware and software manufacturers and vendors. Moving this thread. Quote Link to comment

Don't worry, the prohibition against ads on this fourm only applies if you own the advertized site, or personnally gain from the advertizing. Genuine reviews of retailers are usually welcome.

+JadedJ Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 And the prices don't seem that great. A few years ago when the exchange was better, i would have been jumping in my car and going to get one now. Yet with us = canada dollar, it isn't that great. Look on amazon.com, the free shipping is nice too. Unfortunately in Canada we can't buy from amazon.com and amazon.ca does not carry electronics. In general our increasing dollar has not led to a decrease in prices. I think the primary reason for this is that in reality our dollar has not increased in value at all (relative to most currencies in the world), but the US dollar has decreased in value. Eventually the prices will even out. In the meantime I'm split between buying from gpscity.ca (or signal.ca which is a local company so I may pay a little extra and buy from them) or going down to the states and buying somewhere down there (Walmart?) Probably depends upon whether I want to wait until our next trip south, or just get a new gps now. Quote Link to comment
+bdhoun Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I started a topic under the Canada section. I'm trying to find the best deal on a 60Cx. I found gpsmart and gpscentral. Not great prices compared to the US but there are no shipping fees or customs clearance fees. GPSmart had the better price, GPScentral won't have the 8% PST and will match the others price. I'm leaning towards them right now. Quote Link to comment
+IVxIV Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I live in Canada too. When shopping for my Vista Cx about a year ago I looked at all the abovementioned websites as well as local stores for best prices.. I wound up buying mine from Radio World www.radioworld.ca . They had the best price on the GPSr, but I believe I went to GPScity.ca for the City Navigator software for the best price on that.. Hope that helps a fellow Canadian Quote Link to comment
Rhialto Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 If it can help, I bought mine from http://www.durhamradio.com and price equal to other and they had in in stock too even if just released (other were waiting for next shipment). Quote Link to comment
