Ask for Pascal Gosselin


Here's his post on the CPA site.


Ok here's the deal on getting your GPSMAP 496 from us in Canada (where
we are exempt from Garmin's minimum retail price policies).

Price: $2,545 US; UPS 2nd day shipping included (a $250 savings), no
sales tax. Order must be prepaid via a money order. Estimated
availability: around mid-August (same time as all of the non-Oshkosh
dealers get them).

Newps,

I would be very interested in some further "hints" as to the dealer. I
was just in NW Ontario on a fishing trip with the family last month. I
don't belong to the Cessna Pilots Assoc.

I did a search of Garmin auth dealers in Canada, but there are so many
aviation dealers if you include all the provinces. I have an old 196 that I
wouldn't mind upgrading. According to the G2 chart specs which the 496 will
take, it will render aerial photos of marine harbour sites. I assume it
would other sites too. It must have a ton of memory. I also see you can
add your own points of interest. One thing I have missed for a while with
my old Pilot III was the inclusion of private strips.

I have some private grass strips around here that are privately owned,
public use and it would be nice to have them on a gps again for the burger
runs.

There's a dealer from Canada who participates on the Cessna Pilots Assoc
website that will sell you one for $2545 US prepaid, no sales tax.
Canadian regs don't allow Garmin to set the minimum price and also allow
sales to the US.
