Garmin nüvi 295W 3.5-Inch Widescreen Wi-Fi Only $62.99 Today on Amazon

I paid $108 for the unit at Amazon and thought it was a good deal. You get a free map update.

Thanks so much. At that price, it seems a great way to introduce me to a WiFi-capable device. I have no iPad or smartphone and doubt that I'll be getting anything like that in the near future. But this is a way to experience a device at a low cost with no monthly fees and have the ability to check weather, do web browsing, email, etc. while away from home--as well as the Garmin GPS navigation I'm used to in the car--plus a 3MP camera.

I've just ordered one and also downloaded and saved the Owners Manual to my computer so I'll be a bit more informed before my roughly 1+ week delivery with the free S&H option from Amazon.

I have to admit that the timing is also near-perfect given that these units when ordered now will almost certainly fall under the one free map update guarantee from Garmin to the next map update due in the next month or so.

I wonder how I'll like it compared to my 855. If I end up liking it a lot, I'll soon find myself waiting for another great price on the numaps lifetime card and need to buy that as well--ugh!

Note: although I'm, not going this route, you may want to. If signing up for a year of Audible.com Gold at roughly $15/month when ordering the 295w today at Amazon, the 295w is free...something good for the audio book, magazine, newspaper, etc. listener.

Is this a good GPS?? Thanks

You are welcome, the deal was so good I ordered a third one for us as a spare to borrow out to guests when they come to visit us in Tucson.

I just load a bunch of things they want to see while they are here and it takes them around and keeps them from getting lost and if they need to find a restaurant or someplace else they can find it quickly with the built in POI's or live Google search feature.

Yes I love mine and it has most of the features of the latest Nuvi models plus wifi and no monthly fees of any kind.

There also Garminfone which running Android and can download apps, have wifi, garmin map and lot more features. But you have to look on craigslist or ebay for a good deal. I got mine on craigslist for $120 brand new seal box.

Although I have a 1490T and a couple of old 350's, I do like the 295W for its pocketability. It is sleeker than most smart phones, and it has a magnetic compass. When it is on WiFi, you can use it to search for POIs through Google ... and the neat thing is that you can then save the Google POIs you want into your Favorites. That makes them available even if you're on the road without WiFi.

Does the map in the unit covers Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico but not Mexico?

Mexico was not included in my 295W.

City Navigator® NT for North America gets me confussed, on the soon to be released 2350 it covers Mexico but on the Garmin site for the 295W it only mentions Canada.

I assumed it did cover Alaska and Hawaii

My sister, AKA "Garage Sale Queen" will get one for her birthday next month.

Good move, it's back to $90+ today. You do realize that GSQ will soon being calling you asking for advice, etc?

wow that is cheap
