I bought a large box of Garmins for $32 at an auction .

One for each vehicle, before I retired they were throwing out small Pelican cases so I grabbed a bunch and each Garmin has it's own damage free carrier in each vehicle .
Sounds like a good deal. I liked both the 6" Garmin 60 and the little 4" Nuvi. Was planning to sell both but i see they are almost not worth the effort. Will stash them as back-ups should the need arise. Am concerned both have recently had a extremely hard time finding satellites and i doubt its the GPS fault. Its too bad as these older ones cannot be traced for location like a cell. Do love the new backup cam. Seen complete standalone units with screen and camera for like $7 and these have no traceable gps. Will post pics later,
