I've tried StaticIce and eBay etc… Currently $179 @ Good Guys is the best I can find. However I know they've been in the $140's in the past, so I'm just wondering if there are any deals running that I might not be aware of, such as the JB Hifi deal (thats now ended right?) giving 20% off if you buy a gift card.

Any deals to share, any way to buy this less than $179 ?

The missus needs one in a couple of weeks so I'd rather get onto it sooner rather than later, unless a specific sale is upcoming? :)

Cheers in advance.

EDIT: I did spend the last hour or two researching, quick findings show TomTom may have dropped the ball a bit on new comparative models (although traffic is better), I don't like Navman, so this was the GPS that consistently got decent reviews - it's traffic is ordinary, screen res and contrast leaves a bit to be desired but it's got bluetooth, allows custom POI's and the 5" screen should suit us well.

    In case this is helpful to someone else…

    I ended up buying the cheaper Garmin Nuvi 52LM for $115 and using a $40 gift voucher so it cost me $75. It lacks the Bluetooth and Traffic but retains the Free Lifetime Map Updates, I don't currently need bluetooth and the Traffic feature is hit and miss according to reviews so I think this is the bang for buck GPS to get. If I were to spend more I'd rather a 6-7" screen than the features of the 2597LMT.

    This is a fairly simple unit light on features but initial impression is good, it also has cameras in it but haven't tested that yet (the nearest speed camera is hours away lol). It'll be put to the test next week on a 1000km round trip never driven before.
