Hi,

I'm going to Seattle next week. Garmin GPSmap equipment is quite expensive
in Europe, so I was thinking of bringing one home with me.

Could you please provide me with some tips of shops that are fairly low on
prices and where I can *show up* and buy what I need ?? need bluecharts as
well ....

Thanks in advance ....

West Marine, south end of Lake Union (plus several other branches in the area).

Fisheries Supply, north end of Lake Union.

Check out Lunde Marine too.

I would check out www.sailnet.com for Garmin GPS equipment- cheaper
than Westmarine. Also- if you do a search on www.ebay.com EBAY- you
can find the cheapest prices around and they are usually legitimate
marine suppliers selling overstock. I just saw a Garmin 182C for
$725.00- brand new in the box. West Marine sells it for $1,000. The
web is the best place to buy things.

You might try West Marine, they have several stores in Seattle
http://www.westmarine.com/ But most of the stores are pretty
competitive, so just check out the specials while you're in town.
