Garmin 7200 Availability

Hi guys

Anybody know here I can buy a Garmin 7200? Looking for one for sale everywhere, only ones i can find are being sold for stupid money.

Alternatively if anybody can recommend an equally decent GPS I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Hummmm decent - perhaps if you could say what budget you are on people might be able to recommend the right one?
eBay and Amazon have some-
I have just sold my 278C and now use the Montana ( see post) and a 62S
The 62S is my back up and a handheld- as has much smaller screen.
I can recommend both.

Thanks Bertrand I will look at the ones you mention.

Budget is maximum of 150pounds.

I have seen the Garmin 7200 go for around 100pounds before (second hand of course). This is my preferred choice of GPS, but I will have a good look at the ones you suggested. Thanks!

Sorry Dave
Both those units are way above your budget. Hence my question.
You may want to look at a second hand Zumo or, if you are OK with a smaller screen look at the 60CSX

Thanks again Bertrand, I managed to get a Garmin 7200 for 100pounds plus postage on ebay literally a few days ago.....very pleased with it, will look great upfront on our truck. Seems very simple to use with a very user friendly menu. With our truck it's a good size on the dash, probably too excessive for a smaller vehicle it does take up a bit of space!

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
