UK GPS unit Suppliers?

[+zpyder]

I'm guessing this has been asked a few times before, but I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for GPS suppliers in the UK that are cheap and possibly do bulk buy discounts. I know in the scheme of things 5 units isn't really bulk, but it's still 5x as many units as Joe Bloggs would normally order.

 

I think work (A university) is looking into probably either the Garmin 60CSx or the 62S(t). I want to recommend the 62s, but without seeing a 62 IRL I can't in good conscience on the grounds of the reports of the squeaking, as the units need to be durable, so I get the impression the 60's might be a bit more well built!

 

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

My last few units I bought from Active GPS

 

http://www.activegps.co.uk/

 

There website is accurate on in stock / out of stock .. Found you can call and discuss delivery options with them (ie ship the Discoverer maps now and the Garmin next week etc)

 

I ordered a second 550T from them and they called me to say they where out of stock but may get some later in the week .. I asked if they'd let me know (not expecting them to do anything) and surprise on Friday they called me said No new stock so offered I could cancel the order if I wanted (at no cost no hastle etc)

 

Sure there are others as well .. however I was impressed with these guys and would use them again .. Prices are pretty competitive too

Thanks. They may not be the cheapest I've seen, but sometimes it pays off paying a little more for reliable service. I'll be sure to forward that suggestion on to the equipment officer!

If you want to buy five units, you should contact some shops and ask for a special price.

I wouldnt pay the same price as for a single unit if i were you.
