Many of us on POI-Factory have purchased our 3597LMTHD refurb's from theGPSstore. They are a legit vendor.

3597

What a great deal! Thanks for posting!

in-store

I've always found that it's unnecessary to go to a store at 3:30 AM on Friday (we did it in 2008 and scored these Presto deep fryers for $29 door buster normally $69.99 or $49.99 on amazon, only to see the same deal the next week in the store). But many online deals are legit. I think last year my mom got an iPad Air???? The one generation behind one, for literally $100 less than the normal price, and I had thought Apple never discounts. This was from the office supply store where you hit the red button.

Another good deal is 10% off at amazon with Chase Freedom....it's a 5% bonus to the regular 5%. I don't have that card but my wife does...

3597LMTHD or 2699LMTHD?

Thanks for the heads-up on the refurbished 3597. Amazon has a refurbished 2699 LMTHD for $189.95?

What is the difference in these two systems? Looking at the Garmin site, I can only deduce that the 2699 is a 6 inch over the 3597 which is a 5 inch. Are there any other differences?

Which is the better deal?

Garmin Nuvi 2699 with 2017.30 Maps

3597LMTHD vs 2699LMTHD

One major difference is that the 3597 has a nice magnetic powered mount, the 2699 has a simple mechanical mount. This means you can attach and remove the 3597 from its mount without connecting or disconnecting any wires. It saves on USB port wear and tear which is a common point of failure as the devices age.

For features, the 3597 has Real Directions with Real Voice, 3D terrain view and 3d building images. The 2699 has the FourSquare feature.

I think the answer about which one is better is a personal choice. For me, the powered mount is important, so I would go with the 3597. For others, the larger screen may be most important, giving the advantage to the 2699.

The screen is the probably the main difference. The 3597 has a:

multi-touch, glass, dual-orientation, WVGA color TFT with white backlight

while the 2699 has a:

multi-touch, capacitive, manual dual-orientation, WVGA color TFT with white backlight

The glass dual orientation screen will be superior to the capacitive manual screen and since they both have the same screen resolution (800 X 480), the 3597's smaller screen will be sharper (same pixels over a smaller area).

Glass capacitive screen

From the reviews I have read, the 2699 does also have a glass capacitive multi touch screen, although as T923347 said, the dual orientation on the 2699 is manual while it is automatic on the 3597.

Just Say NO to Black Friday!

I don't normally do Black Friday. I "have" participated in a limited manner a couple of times in the past but it was just to purchase a turkey. A "fresh" Butterball turkey can run $68 or so. The day after Thanksgiving I can usually pick up the same turkey for around $10.
