My wife was lucky enough to win this at a Grand Opening of West marine this past weekend. (She was so excited I thought we hit the powerball! )
We already have several GPS's and while I am sure we could find a use for this I really don't ***need*** it and would rather cash it out.
This is a nice unit, still in the box (I opened the box to look at and all the accessories but have not applied power to the unit or even take it out of the box. Everything that was bagged is still factory sealed. It is brand new.
It is made for both auto and marine use and has all kinds of mounting adapters. It comes with ***both*** land maps (for auto) of the entire nation and ***bluechart CD (marine)*** and you can activate one chart region as part of the package (says so on the box).
Pricing:
It lists for $1149 at west marine or on their website. Most 267c's don't package in the marine chart, have fewer accessories and sell for around 600-700. During the grand opening sale at west marine you could get the land and sea package for about 800 (including the bluechart CD)
The basic machine (on ebay) goes for about 600 (no marine charts and fewer acc's.)
I am planning to put this on Ebay but I wanted to run this by you guys to see if someone at sb.com has serious interest. I think we would be looking for something like $700.00 for it.
Any offers?
FYI here is another site that carrys both models :

FYI here is an independant review I found of the basic unit:
