OK $127 for a new Magellan Meridian GREEN, (shipping wt. = 7 POUNDS?)

 

Pros and cons on this unit/price?

Is it more important to know what you are talking about,

or more important to talk about what you know?

 

the seeking is in the knowing

The shipping is a little high and the price is a little high.

 

However, supplies of these units seems to be drying up. I got my wife's at outpost.com for $119 but now they don't carry them....

I picked one of these up from Outpost.com a few months back to replace an older Magellan and don't regret it one bit. The base map detail is an issue to some as compared to the higher Meridian models but when you add MapSend Topo to the unit, there is no difference between them for what we use it for when you zoom in past the base map level of detail. If you shop around you can get the maps for around $60 to $80 and then add an SD card for $35.

 

The $50 rebate from Magellan is still in effect (if you ever get it - I have been waiting for more than 2 months!), your total cost is under $200 for a phenomenal GPS system.

 

Hope this helps.

I bought mine from GPS on Sale . Magellan is running a $50 rebate on this unit. Check on the website. My price, after rebate including Mapsend Streets was $139.99. I had it shipped UPS 3 day and that was about $14 to Massachusetts. GPS on Sale is located in California, so your shipping may vary. It also depends on how fast you want the unit and what you are willing to pay to ship it.

 

Check the threads. I just read one that said Comp USA is selling a large SD card for short money. You don't have to buy a genuine Magellan SD card. I have a Lexmark that is working just fine.

 

When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.

Time to hide

a treasure inside,

and what will we find?

 

A dream

a trinket,

stimulation for the mind?

[+DustyJacket]

True - I forgot to mention that - the unit WITH the software earns a rebate.

 

But, I've seen posts forgetting to mention the software.

 

My fault.
