Discontinued Garmin GPS

When you read about a discontinued Garmin GPS in a blog or article, have you ever wondered what was the author's source of information that makes her/him such an authority?

If you are looking for the source of information about discontinued Garmin GPS units, the answer is very simple.  Go to the Garmin website and Garmin will tell you all the current GPS units and all the discontinued ones.  You just have to know where to look.

The Garmin website is a very good one and it quite intuitive which makes it very easy to navigate.

For the sake of an example, let's look for all the discontinued Garmin automotive GPS units.  Start by going to www.garmin.com and look for the "On the Road Link" as shown in the picture below.  This link will open a new window so you can switch between the new window on the Garmin website and this window with the instructions.

Float your cursor over the "On the Road" link in the top left of the screen.  This will drop down a menu with the "Automotive" link.  Clicking on this link will list all the current Garmin automotive GPS units.

Since we are looking for the discontinued units, look in the gray navigation box on the left side of the display.  Near the bottom of the links, you will see "Discontinued" as shown in the picture below.

Clicking on the "Discontinued" link will load a page that displays all the discontinued Garmin automotive GPS units.  In the example below, there are 51 discontinued units.

You can scroll down this page and see all the units that have been discontinued by Garmin.  Just because a GPS has been discontinued does not mean that you should not consider buying it.  Some  very good buys are made after Garmin discontinues production on a GPS and the merchants lower the prices to clear out the inventory of the discontinued GPS.
