Do you own a GPS unit?

So I’m looking to buy a GPS unit for my car. We have a hand held one for when we go hiking, but that’s it.

Amazon.ca is selling the one that I’m interested in, the Garmin nüvi 265WT, for $229.99. I want to use my Swagbucks to get it, and I currently have around $135 in Amazon giftcards via Swagbucks. Makes me kind of wish I hadn’t used all those Swagbucks to buy travel books, but that’s neither here nor there. I’ll use then eventually.

I’m going to wait until closer to Christmas – because then maybe the price will have dropped again (list price was $402.37), and I will have a chance to collect more Swagbucks. Ideally I’d like to pay for the entire thing in Swagbucks, but that might not be realistic depending on how many I can earn. I also should have $100 coming to me from Google Adsense, which would fully make up the rest of the cost of the GPS but I’d kind of like to earmark that money for maintaining this blog should I choose to move it over to WordPress.

Do you use a GPS unit? If so, which one do you have, and do you recommend it?

If you haven’t already signed up for Swagbucks, please consider using my referral code! :)
