Today everyone has a GPS from the person next door to every pilot you know. However, trying to find an aviation GPS is not all that easy if you are on a budget. If you have been in the market for an aircraft GPS you have probably already noticed the steep price. Fortunately, you can find a GPS from Garmin Avionics or any other company simply by searching the web. There are quite a few ways you can go about finding the GPS for the best money and the following tips will help you.
Tip #1 Search Google
The first place to start is with Google, or your preferred search engine. Type in the name of the GPS you are looking for and wait and see what the results show you. You may just be able to find the best and cheapest GPS this way or you may have to use some other methods. Generally, you will find several results for your search terms and then you can click on the various options. You will find that many stores sell the GPS for similar prices but there are others that are either much more expensive or much cheaper. If you think you have found a super cheap GPS then you may want to check the shipping charges. Many times companies will really mark down a GPS and increase the shipping considerably to make you think you are getting a good deal when you really are not.
Tip #2 Check Flyers
Many times stores have advertisements in their weekly flyers for sales they are having. If you check your local sportsman's store's flyers on a regular basis then you just might be able to find a GPS that is within your budget and close to what you were looking for to start with. You might be surprised that stores offer good deals on GPS equipment, but they do from time to time so it makes sense to keep an eye out.
Tip #3 Auction Sites
Believe it or not but one of the best places to find the GPS you have been looking for is on an auction site. People list new and used GPS equipment, as well as everything else, for bidders to bid on. Once you find the one you are looking for all you need to do is bid and see if you win. This is not always the best way to save money and sometimes you may get caught up in the bidding and spend more. But, as a rule, you will save money when you bid on auction sites.
