Note to everyone that the sale is now live now that it's Friday and it appears to be nation wide.

....

Yup, good here now.  However I did not realize until I went to the Garmin site that this is just a display unit, no GPS built in, needs the Garmin app to work.  No good to me, oh well...... :(
The app is only 99 cents

I like real time traffic on my Garmin. Has saved me a few times.

I mainly use my GPS in the US, so having a similar feature on a phone and using roaming data charges would be ridiculously expensive
How fast is my 911?  Supras sh*t on on me all the time...in reverse..with blown turbos  :( ...

I've gotten so I don't buy anything at canadian tire unless it's on sale. If i do pay regular price I usually regret within a month or two.

When I went to California for 6 days, I paid $20 for 100MB of data. Seemed worth it.

Yup, always wait for a sale at Canadian Tire. They're still making money with the sale prices.

I think C.Tire has 90 price protection. If they won't give you the difference just tell them that is fine, I'm now returning the product and will be purchasing the new one instead, enjoy the paperwork.

I have US SIM card, where you can get data only $1 for 1 gig a day  , add unlimited NA calling for $3 a day
