On GPS Tracklog, we talk about Garmin quite a bit and TomTom on occasion, but it sometimes feels like GPS maker Magellan gets left by the roadside. So today, I wanted to take a minute and let you guys know about some of the Fitness Back to School Sale that Magellan launched recently. read more

As Garmin recently announced that it has updated the Garmin Rino line with a new 650T device, a lot of the older 650 devices (which are pretty pricey) are going on sale. However, as the most recent 650T really only updates a handful of things, the older version should still be pretty viable. read more

I was browsing Cabela’s today and noticed that there were a handful of GPS accessories discounted. I’m not 100% sure exactly when these discounts (some of which are admittedly a little slight) will end, but if you’re in the market for some mounts or other accessories, then every little bit saved is helpful, right?

Here are some of the deals: read more

Garmin units tend to have a pretty long lifespan, so if you’re looking for a great unit but don’t want to shell out the cash for a brand new device, then a refurbished unit is an excellent option. And, as luck would have it, GPS City is currently holding a sale on several of its refurbished units. All of these units have been overhauled by Garmin and should basically work like brand new as far as software goes. All of the devices come with a year warranty just in case something goes wrong.

Here are some of the more popular and notable sales: read more

For all my U.S. readers, Independence Day is this weekend and it looks like the sales are already in full swing! Most of the sites I looked at don’t really have much specifically meant for GPS devices, there are a few GPS sales going on.

Since the 4th of July is in the middle of summer, the sales aren’t the greatest, but with more expensive purchases, every little bit counts, right? Anyway, here are some of the more notable sales I found: read more

It’s summer, which means that not only is the weather beautiful, but a lot of people will be headed outside for various activities. It’s a great time to get more in shape, so GPS City’s most recent activity tracker sale is pretty opportune.

Now through June 20, 2015, GPS City has reduced the prices on several of Garmin’s Vivo activity tracker family including the Vivoactive smartwatch and heart rate monitor bundles. All of the monitors are available in multiple colors as well. Check it out: read more

If you’re a fan of handheld GPS devices, then this might just be your lucky week. After the recent announcement of Garmin’s new eTrex devices, GPS City has been reducing price like crazy on their old eTrex devices. And, just for good measure, also has discounted the extremely popular Oregon 650 which is still one of the better handheld GPS devices on the market. read more

Garmin’s Forerunner series of running and cycling watches while not really the top of the market, are still reasonably popular in the GPS watch market. These devices can track runner/cyclists paces, distance, speed, track and, with the addition of a heart monitor, heart rate.

Well, all of that changed with the recent introduction of Garmin’s new Forerunner 225. This device comes with a built-in heart monitor which allows it to record user’s heart rates without the addition of an uncomfortable and bulky chest strap. The Forerunner 225 is expected to be released in the next couple of months, but if you’re in the market for a new Forerunner device, then now is definitely the time.
