Click Here To Get Your Garmin Nuvi
Being in a profession that requires me to travel daily across city and state lines, I’ve relied on my Garmin GPS to get me where I need to go and I’ve found a few great places to buy Garmin Nuvi. There are a few local electronics retailers that usually have great prices and a few websites that can offer even better prices.
First of all, you need to know what you want from your GPS device before you just go buy one willy-nilly. I made the big mistake of buying a Garmin Nuvi for over $400 and I only used and wanted the features that were available on the $150 model. I didn’t use the other features that made that Nuvi model more expensive and I wasted a lot of money not knowing what I wanted and needed before I bought that GPS.
I was upgrading my GPS from a boxy looking guy to the thin, widescreen Garmin Nuvi. So do a little research and find out what you need and what you want. A great place to do that is at your local electronics retailer. I’ve had great experiences talking to sales associates at Best Buy and Fry’s.
In my experience, most of the people in the GPS area of those stores are well educated and will help you find the GPS model that best suites you. They’re not pushy or try to make you buy the most expensive model available. In fact, they guy at Best Buy tried to convince me to not buy the $400 Garmin Nuvi and to get the $150 Garmin. Wish I would’ve listened.
Since that epic mistake, I’ve purchased a couple GPS’ from amazon.com after reading their customer reviews and checking out Garmin’s website (garmin.com). Most recently I purchased the Garmin Nuvi 1490LMT (with a 5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Lifetime Map & Traffic Updates) and I love it.

I bought it because I wanted the new “Junction View” which helps me pick and stay in the correct lane on highways and interstates. I’ve missed too many exits because I heard “keep left,” followed by a “veer right” just as I pass my exit.
I also love the Bluetooth in the Garmin Nuvi 1490LMT (LMT means the GPS comes with lifetime maps and traffic updates; the cluster of letters at the end of the Garmin models tells you what features it offers) and I can answer phone calls and the caller hears virtually no road noise. It’s fantastic.
Back to my main point, amazon.com seems to have the best prices on GPS’ and I often find the “new” models cheaper than the “used” GPS’. I’ve tried a few bids on quibids.com and eBay.com but the prices, shipping and overall satisfaction aren’t as good as what I get from amazon.com.
That’s just a personal opinion, but there’s a reason amazon.com sells as much as it does. Even if you decide to buy your Garmin Nuvi elsewhere, at least check out the customer reviews because I think they’re some of the least biased reviews and you’re not getting duped by some sales scam.
There are plenty of places to buy a Garmin GPS, but like I said, you should really research which GPS will suite your needs and wants the best. I’ve been to many different places to buy Garmin Nuvi and I hope you find yourself a great deal and get one soon.
