It may be a refurbished unit. This is what was at the bottom of the screen!!

Nothing wrong with a refurb. A lot of the time it's just a return.

I bought my wife a refurb Nuvi for $429 from TVNAV.com. I trust Darrel and have been doing business with him for years. He's never done me wrong.

BTW, shhhhh, don't tell her, it's a Christmas present.

My original 2610 was a refurbed unit from getfeetwet.com. Looked new, smellled new, and came with the full 1-year warranty. 18 months into ownership, the screen failed and Garmin replaced it with a brand new 2720 for free. I ain't mad at nobody. :D

nah, this one is brand new, tiger openly lists recertified items as such.

Stumbled on it looking for a new videocam...my anklebiters thought mine was waterproof...thought I'd pass the info on, do with it as you will, but for those who can do without the O-Ficial BMW cradle and extra buttons (this is the same unit as the current nav system) and would like xm radio and traffic and weather and not have to pay $249 for the special antenna, it's a helluva price---you can print it and leave it around for your spouse ala' the Red Ryder BB gun ads in "A Christmas Story"

Or not, don't matter to me!

Cheers everyone!
