rwinters Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 This new unit with the all unlock code is suppose to be out soon, like June 7th or so. What will the online retailors sell it for and will it be alot better deal than buying the current one with one unlock code for $360. Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 TVNAV.com is advertising the deluxe version at $499 and the regular Garmin V with one unlock code for $360. Unfortunately they are "closed" this week. I just ordered the regular Garmin V from Offroute.com (I don't think I'll travel enough outside of my own region to justify the extra $$$). They are out of stock right now for either version. Price there is $380, no info. on deluxe version. So if you need a Garmin V ASAP, keep looking! Quote Link to comment

+TheCacheCrew Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Just remember... You can buy the GPS V now and order the CS update from garmin. When it arrives, you get to unlock the same region of the update for free, BUT... at that time, you'll be offered an all-unlock of the CS update for $50. I ordered a GPS V from tvnav.com last friday and received it yesterday (great folks at tvnav.com) and I figure it like this... GPS V ($360) + CS update all unlock ($50) equals a GPS V deluxe for $410. The garmin website is a bit confusing about the upgrade. Their tables list the all unlock upgrade as $100, but if you read the hypothetical situations they've included (the single region one about "Bob"), the very last line states that the CS all unlock is $50. This sounded too good to be true, so I emailed garmin about it and was assured that when my update arrives and I go back to unlock my same free region on the update, I'll have the chance to buy an all unlock for $50. And I guess if you don't do it then, you'll pay more to do it later. FWIW... [This message was edited by xeman on June 05, 2002 at 06:30 PM.] Quote Link to comment
Chaplain Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 I concur. I purchased a V on 12 May. I registered the unit and did the unlock thing for the one free region. I was advised at that time that for units purchased after April 22 I was entitled to the free upgrade of City Select shipping later in June. Furthermore, I should not do a total unlock now but wait until the new version shipped and at that time I should unlock the original free region plus do the total unlock thing if I so desire. Lot of BS I know. WE'll see what happens. By the way the URL for the FAQ section @ Garmin for mapping upgrades is..http://shop.garmin.com/cartography/mapsource/faq.asp Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 xeman and Chaplain, thanks so much for your tip on how to get a Garmin V Deluxe the cheaper way. I really should send each of you a check for half of the money I save. Quote Link to comment

rwinters Posted June 7, 2002 Author Share Posted June 7, 2002 Well, I just made the plunge and i will pay for the total unlock code when available. Now I just hope that Garmin doesn't surprise us with a New V that includes upgradeable memory card and a USB port. Quote Link to comment

I kept reading about all of the *really* cool stuff folks were doing with their MeriGolds and a 128mb card. I had just about convinced myself that MeriGold was the way to go, but then realized, after all, that I wanted automapping and so I took the GPS V plunge. After driving around town with it for the last two days, I'm glad I did. It's truly incredible (around here anyway). Quote Link to comment
+MattandLaura Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 just ordered my GPS V from http://www.advancedgps.com/receivers/gpsv.asp $379 with overnight delivery Quote Link to comment
+jollybgood Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 <http://www.advancedgps.com/receivers/gpsv.asp $379 with overnight delivery>> Well I hope you get it because I just ordered one for my Dad. ($354 bucks for a GPSV? not bad). He fell in love with mine and I decided to get him one for Father's Day. Jolly R. Blackburn http://kenzerco.com Quote Link to comment
stevesim Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 There have been some negative experiences with AdvancedGPS. See the topic "*DO NOT* Order from AdvancedGPS". Perhaps they have improved since then. Please let us know how your experience is with them. Steve Simpkin Quote Link to comment
+Strix Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Just got my GPSV from them-quick delivery and no problems! "When the chips are down, the buffalo are empty." Quote Link to comment
+jollybgood Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 The unit I ordered for my dad from AdvancedGPS arrived 48 hours later. No complaints and a darn good price. Maybe they got their act together. Jolly R. Blackburn http://kenzerco.com Quote Link to comment
+GOT GPS? Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 There is a brick-n-morter price of $399 right now at Best Buy. Might be an idea, and not to bad a price. My home page about GPS units and information Quote Link to comment
