+aaboe Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 (edited) Hi, Next week I am in the US on a business trip. I plan to buy a new GPS unit while I am there because prices are less than half of the Danish prices. Can anyone recommend a place to buy a GPS unit close to my hotel in White Plains? Crowne Plaza Hotel WHITE PLAINS-DOWNTOWN 66 Hale Avenue WHITE PLAINS, NY 10601 I hope there will be time for some geocaching in the area.... __________ Aaboe, Denmark Edited April 19, 2004 by aaboe Quote Link to comment
+Perfect Tommy Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 There is a Sports Authority in a small mall (at 60 S. Broadway) almost right next to your hotel - they should have GPSs. Failing that, there are two large malls within walking distance, the Westchester (again, right next door to your hotel) and the Galleria that may have an electronics or outdoors activity store that may carry GPSs. Good luck. Quote Link to comment
+aaboe Posted June 4, 2004 Author Share Posted June 4, 2004 Just to follow up... I finally found a place downtown NY where they had the Garmin 60C. The hunt for the unit can best be described as a hard multicache with a difficulty rating of 5 (terrain close to 1). Each step did not bring me much closer to the final cache location. Thanks for the help! I hope I can return and find some real caches using the unit some time in the future. Best regards, Aaboe Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 The one thing is that you'll get the North/South America base map if you buy it here. I assume that if you buy it in Europe, you'll get a European base map, or am I assuming too much? Quote Link to comment
+JMBella Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 ebay. I' don't think I'll ever buy a gps anywhere else. I got a SportTrak color for $250, new in box. Quote Link to comment
