New or Refurbished which to buy and why?

Refurbs don't normally come with the Latest Map Guarantee and the warranty is 6 months, not a year.

Depends in part on where you get your refurb'd unit. Some outlets provide up to a free 2 year extended warranty, others leave you with only the shortened factory warranty.

Understanding that I have zero affiliation with the outfit below, I noted that they are one of the "2 year" group, and claim to provide the latest maps -- although I'm unclear as to how they manage that. I'd certainly quiz them on it. The example is of their GO730 offering.

Thanks dhn

The warranty is important to me so new it is.
