Guest bpuetz Posted March 22, 2001 Share Posted March 22, 2001 I just received an email from Garmin customer service stating that the Vista will be shipping to dealers starting March 26th. Quote Link to comment
Guest Moun10Bike Posted March 22, 2001 Share Posted March 22, 2001 Whoo-hoo! (I've got one on order.) I've heard April 2nd and April 12th in the last couple of days from various odd sources -- it's nice to have word from Garmin themselves that it will be earlier! Quote Link to comment
Guest peter Posted March 22, 2001 Share Posted March 22, 2001 There was also a note from a Garmin dealer in the UK that he got his first shipment of the European version today. Quote Link to comment
Guest dogpile Posted March 27, 2001 Share Posted March 27, 2001 Just received an e-mail from Garmin this morning stating that it will be 2-3 weeks before the Vista is shipped to dealers.. quote Thank you for contacting us, The Vista has not been shipped for purchase yet. It should be available in about 2-3 weeks. You will need to use our dealer locator to check and see who will have them available for purchase at that time ( we do not track on hand quantities of our products a specific dealer has on hand). Thats the word for today....03/27/01 Quote Link to comment

Yesterday I received mail from Darrel Goheen at tvnav.com saying that Garmin is shipping the Vistas to him this Friday (3/30), and that he will ship them out to those who pre-ordered them as soon as they arrive. So, there might still be a chance to get them earlier (I hope?). Quote Link to comment
Guest dogpile Posted March 27, 2001 Share Posted March 27, 2001 Let's hope your information is more correct than the one I received. I hate this waiting game. The Vista will be my 1st GPS and am getting anxious to get started..thanks for the info on your end. Quote Link to comment
Guest Mullen Posted March 31, 2001 Share Posted March 31, 2001 ying that the Vista's are shipping next week. I have been watching that site for the last month and they have accurate and honest on the release dates. Can't wait for my Vista to show up. Quote Link to comment
Guest bpuetz Posted April 3, 2001 Share Posted April 3, 2001 I was just notified that my dealer (www.advancedgps.com) will be shipping the Vista to customers on Wednesday. Finally, I get to find out if I can actually manage to learn how to use one of these beasts. That's no small challenge either -- in Vietnam I once shrewdly determined that my patrol was some 3 miles into the South China Sea. Quote Link to comment

Guest Jason Murphy Posted April 3, 2001 Share Posted April 3, 2001 Looks like the Vista's are shipping out on April 4th (This Wedesday). Quote Link to comment
Guest BobII Posted April 3, 2001 Share Posted April 3, 2001 GPS City is saying the 4th or 6th for shipping. Sure hope it is the 4th. Would like to have for this weekend if possible. Will be my first GPS also. Bob Quote Link to comment
Guest Quinnow Posted April 3, 2001 Share Posted April 3, 2001 I have been swapping e-mails back and forth with Kim from http://www.advancedgps.com/ and she says that 100 vista's are going out tomorrow, and another 200 are expected to be sent out thursaday or friday (this is shipping to customer not shipping to advanced from Garmin.) I have checked many sites for GPS units and pricing and she seems to have one of the best with the offer of no shipping costs. She has also been very helpful and at the time I was e-mailing with her she did not know of "Geocaching" until I mentioned it, she now intends on taking the family out for a go at the sport. If any of you guys are new to this sport and are thinking about buying a GPS unit, be sure to check that site out. I know of many people from this board that have bought theres from here as well as I have too! ------------------ Quinn Stone Rochester, NY.14616 www.Navicache.com [This message has been edited by Quinnow (edited 04-03-2001).] Quote Link to comment
Guest IronHelix Posted April 3, 2001 Share Posted April 3, 2001 I too grabbed a Vista and some accessories from advancedGPS.com. Nice prices... the Vista is $50 less there than most places ($299 vs $350). They claim to be shipping Wed... cant wait. Quote Link to comment
Guest bsyris Posted April 5, 2001 Share Posted April 5, 2001 I talked to some of the folks at TVNAV (who are very helpful and courteous) and found out that most preorders won't get filled this week by many retailers. It seems that when Garmin introduces a new product, their initial shipments to retailers are usually miniscule, with larger amounts shipping a week or two later. Using the Vista as an example, TVNAV had 120 or so preorders and received 10 units to ship out on Wednesday. They expect more in a week or so. Bummer. Quote Link to comment

Guest IronHelix Posted April 6, 2001 Share Posted April 6, 2001 My Vista shipped overnite yesterday! WooHoo! They'd better deliver it today... Quote Link to comment
Guest IronHelix Posted April 6, 2001 Share Posted April 6, 2001 tee hee hee... just ripped open the box. First reaction: D*MN this thing is small. GUI is awesome... probably dont need to read the manual at all. Expect a detailed review RSN (real soon now) Quote Link to comment

Guest BobII Posted April 6, 2001 Share Posted April 6, 2001 If it makes you feel better Moun10Bike, my vista was shipped on Thursday 2nd day (from GPS City), which means I will probably not receive it until monday. Dang, I wanted it this weekend!! Quote Link to comment
Guest Mullen Posted April 9, 2001 Share Posted April 9, 2001 Anyone get their Vista's yet? I ordered mine from www.exploregps.com and I am on my 3rd ship date promise. Hope they get it out this week! Quote Link to comment
Guest dogpile Posted April 10, 2001 Share Posted April 10, 2001 I can't believe the service I received from www.gps4fun.com I ordered my vista from them and was notified that mine would be sent on Wednesday 4 April. I had requested 3 day service, but wanted it for the weekend so I called and changed my delivery method to UPS 2 day so I would have it by Friday. I called to confirm that it was being sent and the saleslady informed me that UPS had forgot to leave a box full of vistas. They called UPS and UPS would not return to deliver them, because Garmin had sent them UPS ground. This delayed that box of Vista's by 1 day. Low and behold I received a phone message from gps4fun and they sent my Vista out next day air with no additional charge. I think I will order acccessories from them again. BTW $299.00 for the Vista was as good as I could find. Anyway it got here Friday and I am still trying to figure out how to use all the features.....I highly recommend this site. (obviously)....

Guest Anton Posted April 10, 2001 Share Posted April 10, 2001 Did I read about a recall on the Vista? What's up with that? Anton ------------------ Anton Ninno, N2RUD Syracuse, NY 13210 Quote Link to comment
Guest Quinnow Posted April 10, 2001 Share Posted April 10, 2001 Anton...no there is no recall. Moun10bike was just kidding with me because I have been teasing him about the fact I got mine before him. So everything is fine with the vista! sorry for the scare ------------------ Quinn Stone Rochester, NY.14616 www.Navicache.com Quote Link to comment

Guest Quinnow Posted April 10, 2001 Share Posted April 10, 2001 by the way...I ordered mine from http://www.advancedgps.com/ got an e-mail telling me it was sent out and I got it two days later. No tax, no shipping and the best price. ------------------ Quinn Stone Rochester, NY.14616 www.Navicache.com Quote Link to comment
