Wow $169! And that includes the mounting bracket too. It makes the
value equation vs. Garmin a bit lop-sided. I paid $400 after the rebate
last year for the 2000C, but then paid another $100 for the terrain
update. Oh well. It's not as bad as when I go back and look through
some computer receipts I kept from the 1980's My favorite was the 25
Mhz 68030 processor for $1,000.

Paul, thanks for the info; I wasn't aware of this rebate program. The
price for the 500 has dropped more...mine will cost $169 after the
rebate.
