Our Daily Deal: TomTom GPS for $49.99

by Terrence O'Brien on June 3, 2009 at 02:39 PM



The folks over at TechDealDigger are letting us know about some of the best deals they find on gadgets every day, so we're going to pass that information on to you. After all, in these tough economic times, every little bit counts. We may not be buying Swarovski-covered iPods any time soon, but everyone needs essentials like a computer, so take a look at what the online deals site sent us today.

GPS units' prices have been dropping pretty quickly over the past year or so. In fact, sub-$100 portable devices are so common that there is little reason not to own one at this point. If you have been too broke, though, or too cheap, today you are officially out of excuses. Amazon is selling a refurbished TomTom ONE 130 for $49.99, after a mail-in rebate. Oh, and it comes with free shipping. The ONE 130 features a 4.3-inch touchscreen, the TomTom Map Share program (for sharing or correcting points of interest), and a traffic receiver (for detouring around congested roads). Normally the ONE 130 retails for $129.99, so if you're willing to pay for a refurbished unit, and don't mind waiting for your rebate check, you can get a reliable GPS from a reputable company at more than a 60-percent discount. This might be the best deal our friends at TechDealDigger have sent us yet.
