This is a GREAT price! I bought the 360 which is the same unit as this one with a smaller 3.5inch non-wide-screen. My favorite thing from around NYC is I downloaded a red-light and speed camera POI (point-of-interest) database which I loaded onto my 360 using garmins own POI Loader software, and now it dings whenever i'm approaching a red-light camera or speed camera! The text-to-speech on this is better (in my personal experience) than non tts garmins and even tomtoms with tts.

This IS a great price. No Bluetooth, but then that's not really that necessary anyway. I recently bought a refurbished 360 for $204 off fleaBay and knowing that this doesn't have Bluetooth would've been a deal breaker for me. Knowing what I know now though I probably would've traded the larger screen (4.3") of the 650 for the Bluetooth capability of the 360.

I've been looking for a GPS, $30 off doesn't seem like a huge deal really. Is it for a gps?

#5, I don't stop for most yellows! In a recent Car and Driver, it was exposed that cities can and have significantly increased their red-light camera INCOME just by shortening the length of yellow lights by tenths of a second! NOT ALL YELLOWS ARE ALIKE!

This is a very good price. Order a bean bag mount & your set.

Crap. I just ordered the 360 from Amazon for $250 shipped (+tax - damn you NYS). Why didn't someone tell me before that the bluetooth feature was worthless. Is that really true? I thought it would be a good way to attach accessories. No one uses it?

This is a pretty good deal on a pretty good GPS..the only drawback is the flip up antenna..can be annoying.
