That's the installed price of a new unit and is typical. A search in Yahoo
turns
up prices of about $3,000 for a new unit uninstalled (yes, Garmin's policy
is
to only sell installed units). Several outfits are also selling
reconditioned
units for $2,000 to $2,300.

Perhaps CriticalMass saw one of those ads.

That's the explanation, George. I saw that ad somewhere recently and missed
the "factory reconditioned" fine print.

Thanks.
