[PAAirheads] [MDairheads] Garminâ?~s birthday sale

 By the way, did you know that an old iPhone can still be used as a GPS?  No service provider needed!
What usually drives an iPhone into retirement is an expiring battery.  But you can wire up a charger and cable to the electrical system on your bike and it'll work just fine.

I suspect most old smart phones could be pressed into service.  And I also suspect most Airheads have old smart phones that they couldn't bring themselves to throw away.  We're all of us cheap b*st*rds, doncha know?

It's been my experience that Garmin special sale models are not the ones you 
really want.

If you are one that likes to plan-out point to point turn by turn rides on your 
pc and download them to your GPS, then for the time being a GPS is what you want 
to keep using.

For the rest of us where it's all about the ride and really don't care where we 
are or where we go, then a smart phone running Goggle maps and WAZE (great for 
mapping and seeing where the cops are in live reports from other WAZE 
users).....is the way to go.

Like many here I still have Garmin's in my car & on my bikes.....but using them 
less and less as they are less reliable & more prone to errors vs live Goggle 
maps & WAZE....both free on my iPhone......so why spend $200--$800 on another 
Garmin?

Btw......once you program a trip on your smart phone in Google maps & WAZE with 
cell service or home WiFi (or any McDonalds) ......even when you loose cell 
service the maps are on your phone and will continue to work....and will hook 
back up to the next cell service area you get into.  My 5 yr old iPhone does 
this.

Headz -This deal is truly "killer"Only thing is that the 396 does not appear to 
support the Garmin TPMS system.If you are like me, and also use a Garmin for 
this purpose, you might want to check it out further.
