UPDATE: Wow, now there’s a heck of a sale on the new Montana series too. Well the Montana deal didn’t last long, but at least the Oregons are still available…
UPDATE 2: GPS City’s prices have gone up, but fortunately the rebate is valid till the end of September, so hopefully we’ll see some better deals.
Garmin has just posted a $50 rebate for the Oregon x50 series, bringing the price down to $249.95 for the 450 and $349.95 for the 550 at GPS City, one of our favorite low-cost vendors. Hit the jump link for all the details on this killer deal.

Garmin TOPO US 24K review
June 27, 2011 By 50 Comments
Garmin recently finished rolling out their new TOPO US 24K
as well as various retailers. The new product offers several advantages including routable trails and detailed highway coverage, and the DVD and micro-SD formats are not locked to a single device, so you can still use them if you buy a new unit.
Magellan intros backup camera for RoadMate 1700 and 9055
June 24, 2011 By 3 Comments
Magellan has announced their backup camera, as previously promised for their RoadMate 9055 and 1700 models. It isn’t showing up on Amazon yet, but should be there soon. As you can see above, the camera attaches at the top or bottom of the license plate and transmits wirelessly to the aforementioned 7” models. The camera provides a 120-degree view and is waterproof and dustproof to IPX67 standards, while the transmitter is water resistant to IPX4. MSRP is $149.99.
Separate DeLorme inReach models for Android and PN-60w owners
June 23, 2011 By 10 Comments
Holy fragmentation Batman! DeLorme issued a news release yesterday about its upcoming inReach product and, buried in the last paragraph, was this bombshell:
There are separate models for Android and DeLorme users.
Now that isn’t a big deal for users (unless you happen to be a DeLorme toting Android owner), but it’s bound to be a headache for DeLorme. Apparently this is due to the PN-60w using a wireless protocol other than Bluetooth, but really, couldn’t they have included two wireless technologies in one unit?

Magellan just keeps rolling out new models, faster than even I can keep up with. Most notable in this current crop is the RoadMate Pro 9165T, a 7” model with all the bells and whistles that caters to the RV and trucker crowd. And as you can see above, we now have another RoadMate with speed limit display.
Dual-use Garmin Montana now shipping
June 21, 2011 By 28 Comments
UPDATE: I’ve posted my full hands on review of the Garmin Montana 600. I’ve also got pages up for the Montana 650 and 650t.
The Garmin Montana series seems most suited to the motorized crowd, those of you with jeeps, ATVs, snowmobiles, etc. And if that fits you, or if you’re willing to tote a 4” screen along on your backcountry or geocaching forays, the wait is over. You can now have a dual-use unit that will switch from a nuvi-like interface to a full blown wilderness navigator at the drop of a hat. Here are some places you can get the Montana today (and remember that going through our partner sites helps keep GPS Tracklog here for you!):
