Wasn't sure were to put this, but..

Has anybody ever bought from Tiger GPS? I'm THIS close to buying the Rino 130 from them - they have it for $293.07 - quite a steal from list price.

Thanks!

Also Tiger has the Street Pilot III for *cough* $599.99 *cough*!!!

(Garmin List: $1,299? or soemthign like that)

Might want to check it out.
They even threw in a T-shirt with my purchase.

Never dealt with them but I clicked thru the main page at Geocaching.com to Offroute.com and the 130 price was 295.95 + ship. But Geo is supposed to get a piece of the purchase.

Just looked again at GPSDiscount and the price is still $279. This is from their webpage - not thru GC.com.
By clicking thru Geocaching.com, I'll bet the price is jacked up to compensate for their slice.
The 'Pro' pack is $299 + shipping.

Well, I recently purchased from them...last week. And got a 60CS. No complaints from me (quick shipment, got what I wanted/ordered, low price, etc.) and it was the cheapest that I could find....didn't do all that much searching...froogle.com mainly.

I didn't see the Rino 130 on their Rino page. Can you post a link?

Or just click "two-way radios" on the left.

Thanks for the input, everybody. Now I gotta make a decision, since I'm also gonna buy either a GPS V or a StreetPilot III. (I got a new position in my company, treating myself to a few trinkets to celebrate.)

It not listed on their 'most popular' list. It's under the 'Hand Held Units' sidebar button. Here is the link to it:

Come on guys... We've found 350+ caches with a Garmin gecko 101. Only cost us $50 at REI (We had a $50 gift certificate, also...)


Who needs an expensive gps, anyway!

My cheap little Etrex works just fine - BOTH of 'em.

I love GPSdiscount.com! At the rate that i get GPS' stolen or lose them thew prices are great! The four Rinos I bought i couldve only gotten three at normal price. And the free t-shirt is an added bonus, not to mention great, cheap shipping (They use FedEx! ) Not a big UPS fan so was happy about that!
I would definitely recommend GPSdiscount especially those of you getting ready to buy the brand new Gps's!

Hey Holt you got one of the 60CS's! Nice. heres hoping your at the GGA meeting with that thing.

Hehe, yeah, you're absoultey right about that. However - and I think I speak for most Rino owners - once you go Rino you won't want anything else!

As far as the V or the SP III.. after seeing how ScottJ and Trailerman use theirs in their cars.. well, lets just say it makes it very convienent. Besides, I'm celebarting!
