Last month’s GPS bestsellers

Dec 2009 GPS bestsellers

Not seeing last month’s list? Click here for the latest listing of the top ten GPS receivers on GPS Tracklog.

Just like last month, my top ten list comes with a twist this time around. This monthly feature usually ranks units according to the most popular reviews here on GPS Tracklog. But during the holidays, there are enough sales made here and on our GPS Deals site, through partners like Amazon, that we can rank actual units sold.


I’ll repeat last month’s caveats; my list is affected by several factors – sales and promotions on specific units, which of my reviews rank better on search engines, how positive (or not) I was about a particular unit, previous top ten lists, and probably a few other factors. Nevertheless, our rankings often track industry trends pretty well, and it’s interesting to look anyway, so see what you think. One other note – handheld unit sales lag way behind auto, so by the time I got to the bottom of the handheld list, I was dealing with eight receivers that only sold a couple units each, hence the long list of items tied at the end!
