Need help on my first GPS Purchase

[Damaschack]

I am planning to buy my first GPS. I have been comparison shopping for a while and found a few sites that seem to be doing a good job with pricing and customer service. I am still confused and undecided as to what to buy with all the various options. The folks at getfeetwet.com (quite helpful) have suggested the Garmin NUVI or 2720. I also saw that they had a factory refurbished Garmin 2610 unit for half the price. Any thoughts on these units? I like the price of the 2610 factory refurbished but I am not sure what I am giving up? Garmin gives 1 yr warranty on the refurb and looks like getfeetwet adds a 2nd yr to that. I was assured that they are as good as new. Has anybody purchased a Garmin Refurb?

The first help you need is to get your question in the correct forum, Damaschack.<br /><br />The second help you need is to remember that you are in a marine retail store here. Look in: http://www.iboats.com/mall/ <br /><br />I will move this to Electrics and Electronics.

I know two folks with Garmin refurbs .. no complaints with either. Be sure to shop Iboats, but don't hesitate to go elsewhere if the price or customer service warrants. It's business, after all, not some secret handshake just because you post here.
