Better jump on that one!

Ok.. I bit.. darn it.. Guess I"m a Garmin user now.

Awww... item is out of stock. I thought about getting one for DH and his long training rides, and for me when I want to go off touring on my own.
It says to call to back order... maybe I'll do that.
Thanks A LOT for posting this... Like I need another addiction or electronic toy. Yeah, I definitely need another.

North Adams Outdoors has it for $390.34 with free ground shipping. New unit, not a refurb.

Not to stir the pot any more, but the 705 is awesome. I bought by FDH one last year and this has saved us on so many rides. You don't realize just how many times you have to stop to orient yourself or check the map on long rides. This beeps just before a turn. Oh, and I think you can download the maps for free (as opposed to buying the map card).

No free maps. If you already have a Garmin mapping unit for your car, moto or boat, I think they'll give you unlock codes so that you can use the maps on the 705. But I bought the bundle, so I'm not sure about that.

Now, where's my 310XT...

Be aware that the one that Colorado C is selling doesn't have the detailed maps - that will be another $70-$100 depending where and how you get them.

[BabyBlueNTulsa]

Yep - thanks for reminding them all.

I didn't get mine from CC, but I did buy mine w/o the (detailed) maps at first b/c I wasn't sure I really realy "needed" them and just wanted the cool toy.

$399 is what I paid at a different online venue...and thought it was a steal.

Later, I did buy the maps card. No biggie really. Still saved money.

melissa, don't see the 705 but do see the 605...

RogueDog,

Very interesting! It was there this morning, and I even added it to my cart. But now, I just get the "product not found" error when I click the link I provided or the one on froogle.

Interesting....

Regarding free maps, google Ibycus usa.

The map set is actually pretty good, although it doesn't cover every county in the us yet.
