GPS shop in Reading area?

[AndyJ]

Hi,
does anybody know if there are any GPS shops in the Reading area, which may stock power/speaker leads and dash mounts for 2610?

Have you checked with GPS Warehouse?

Andy:

The dash mounts (oval shaped sticky things) and the beanbags are common to all the Garmin aviation products as well, so if you have an airport nearby with a pilot shop, you can probably get the mounting bases and spare sticky pads, etc. there.

If you can't find a pilot shop, just look for an avionics company (aviation electronics company) at the airport, they probably stock all that stuff.

The SP26xx specific components are not used in any of the aviation products, but the SP III components (cables, etc.) are used in the GPS 295 aviation GPSR, which is the same form factor as a SP III.

When I need parts and I am on the road, I just head to an airport - never been disappointed yet.

Try Maplins on the Oxford Road (town end). They sell GPS kit, mounts, etc - worth a call before you visit. 0118 956 6638. www.maplin.co.uk

Cheers,

Neil.

If all else fails, try here - I got mine in a week for half the price you'd pay in the UK.

If you want the power & audio cable, the Garmin number is 010-10495-02

E-mail to the 'assist' address given - tell Don he owes me a beer!
