Gadgetell | Tech News, Reviews, and Interesting Things

If you’re looking around for a new GPS, then you might want to wait until Black Friday and buy one of these GPS’ because of their uber-low prices. NaviGadget got their hands on some ads revealing the low prices on select name brand GPS units.

First we have the Mio C220 which is $100 off the retail price and is selling for just $99! Unfortunately this offer will only be around for 5 hours. Here’s a description of the GPS:

  Mio C220 has a very simple design with only one power button on top. All other user interface operations are taken care by the 3.5-inch touch screen. Speaking of the screen, it is easy to see even under the AZ sun - unlike what other reviews may say. Oh, and we should also mention that it switches to night mode automatically depending on the time of the day.

Other important hardware spec you may be interested in a sat nav device is the battery life. Mio C220 comes with a 1200mAh rechargeable battery that Mio claims will last you about 4.5 hours. We haven’t tested the battery to its limits but we didn’t see the battery indicator go down after 1 hour of driving at mid range brightness.

Next we have the Magellan Maestro 3100 for $140, which is $110 off the retail price.

It seems like the Maestro 3000 series is going to be step-down from the 4000 series but only in terms of screen size. Maestro 3000 series will have the same slim body as the 4000 series but will come with a 3.5-inch screen. This could be a plus for you though if you are more into smaller and lighter gadgets.

Finally, we have the Magellan Maestro 4000, which will be on sale for $250, which usually retails for $350.

Turn-by-turn directions in the continental U.S., built-in AAA travel information, including member roadside assistance details, 1.5 million POIs, 2D and 3D views, customizable address book, 4.3-inch WQVGA, anti-glare touch screen, measures 5.0 x 3.75 x 0.88 inches (WxHxD) and weighs 8.5 ounces.

All of these GPS’ will be available for in-store purchase at Office Max.
