GPS rebates and deals

GPS rebates and deals is a post that will be updated frequently, in an effort to help you find the best price on the GPS receiver of your choice. I'll place a link in the upper left sidebar, so this post will be readily available from every page on GPS Tracklog. One more thing -- be sure to double check all prices shown before you order, because they are subject to change, and read the fine print on rebate forms!

SiRFstar III reception under dense canopy My wife and I went on our weekly mountain bike ride today, and of course we took our GPS receivers along for the ride! I was kind of excited about it; we were going to ride a trail in dense redwoods that I had never been able to map due to poor satellite reception.

Redwoods are actually a low biodiversity plant community; very little grows on the forest floor due to their dense shade. I've heard it said that native Americans here didn't like the redwoods -- that they are downright spooky. More likely it was just the lack of game and edible plants, but you get the idea. The trail we rode, Manly Gulch, is as challenging as it sounds -- narrow and technical, with steep dropoffs. The photo at left is of me coming around a tight curve between two redwoods.

Magellan eXplorist 500 LE announced As predicted this past June, Magellan is releasing an alternative version of the eXplorist 500, the Magellan eXplorist 500 LE.
