Failed GPS and the results! You need to read this boys!

I wasn't sure which room this should go in, so I put it here. If Admin wishes to move it have at it.
About a year and a half back, I bought a Garmin NUVI 750 GPS from Sam’s Club for my truck. I really fell in love with the way this thing works for highway use. Still not sure if it’s the right choice for off road. I sort of doubt that. Yesterday it wouldn’t turn on! I dug around and found the receipt and it seems that when I bought it I also bought an extended warranty. Thought at the time that seeing use in my ¾ ton truck on a lot of gravel and other back roads in WV it might get bounced around a good bit. I took it back and told them it no longer worked. They never batted an eye! Gave me a new one right on the spot. Then to my surprise, the girl started counting out MONEY! I asked her what she was gonna do with the money and she said it YOURS! Told me that these units no longer cost as much as they did when I first bought mine. So they refunded my original purchase price, stated the clock ticking on a new 4 year warranty from yesterday’s date, and refunded me the difference between what I had paid and the new price, $106. I just about fell through the floor. I walked out of there with a brand new GPS, New 4 year warranty, and $106 bucks in my pocket! First time I ever had ANYONE stand behind a product / sale like that. So if you’re in the market for any home electronics, you might want to give Sam’s Club a shot? It sure worked for me.

You are in the right spot for this story.

It is nice to hear good product stories. It is to often we hear this situation going the other direction. I am glad it work out for you....

That was just great!!!!! for Sam's Club

Day um !! GOOD FOR YOU TICK !!

great service and for once a company that will stand behind its stuff!!

WHOA that's unheard of. Wish every product had a company that would stand behind it that way.

great to hear it.

I'm glad to hear it... my wife just give me one for my buttday, and she
bought the extra warrantee to go with it...... she thinks i'll be rough
on it and the warrantee would pay for itself soon.... she said i
wont get lost next time we go to windrock.

I also have a Magellan Meridian Gold hand held that I like a little better for off road use. It leaves the trail of bread crumbs (for lack of a better term) to follow back. I've yet to figure out a way mount the Garmin and it's not water proof either. I wouldn't want to give the Magellan the "Dunk Test" but think it might stand a little rain shower better?? Have you found a way to mount yours on your ride yet?

I have a Garmin Nuvi 200 W that I purchased at Walmart about a year ago. It cost about $250.00, I think I have seen the same one on sale for $200.00. I love mine....great product.

I havent done so yet, but I bet the RAM MOUNTS should have something.

I HAVE A RAM MOUNT FOR MY ETREX THAT I BOLTED TO THE DASH HOLDS IT GREAT AND I CAN ADJUST IT TO ANY ANGLE TO SEE IT.
