Why is this discontinued by Garmin?

It has been replaced with the eTrex 30, which has a few design upgrades over the Vista. The eTrex 20 has a few less functions than the Vista but is also comparable. Here is a better comparison between eTrex 30 and older Vista: http://www.aukadia.net/gps/e30-review.pdf

Another provider? Doubtful. Technology keeps evolving. Garmin will soon be releasing models (I "think" one of their newer models already have this) that access the internet (with similar features as those on MSN, which is why Microsoft isn't going to support this after January of 2012).Check with either gpsreview.net or gpspassion.com for some info on this.

They have been discontinued and now are very rare. Runners love to run with these and so do a lot of people. Sonxtronic xdr-8000 is about the same and has a cheaper price at this time.

Wow! I am afraid I don't know. I've purchased Garmin accessories via Amazon but not replacement parts. We have a Garmin store in Chicago, they might have one but I don't know how many of those stores exist. I am sure you already tried the Garmin site.

Not this model. Search for Garmin bluetooth to find the models with that feature.

I don't know. Mine died last fall. Less than a year old.customer support sucks! I have a Garmin unit now that works great. FYI: I also have a Calloway UPRO (dead!) It was only a few months old. So crappy they've abandoned it as a product. Needless to say, I've gotten some good stuff via Amazon Prime..,ALSO SOME CRAP!

That is the mistake I made.... older model 205/305 will work on Garminconnect in May. The 405 is not slated for support until Q3 of 2008. You only find this out after purchasing and downloading the software. For now I am using Fusion (same as Parallels). Also, keep an eye on runnerplus. They are very close to supporting Garmin and have a very robust site.

You have to purchase a separate Garmin Astro. We are sold out of those currently.

Zachary, Mine is broken too. I called Garmin and they want me to send the unit in for repair. They want $125. I could just about buy another one for that price. Have you figured out to fix yours? I am still trying to figure out a way to McGiver mine. David Wallace

I'm sorry I don't know that. You could call Garmin. I am really happy with mine.

It isn't out yet. It was supposed to be available between Nov, 15 and Dec. 4, but just yesterday Customer Service told me they had an update from Garmin and they are no longer giving an 'available' date, it's changed to 'we'll let you know.' The vendor has also changed. I canceled my order for the 2350 LMT and ordered the 1450 LMT. I can live without what the 2350 will have (whenever it's available), and the 1450 has a 5" screen. Currently, Amazon's price on the 1450 is $50 less than list, but since the news about the 2350 is getting around, the price of the 1450 has gone up $17 in three days.

I expect another "connected" Garmin, the 18xx series, by sometime in the Spring. That device should allow you to check your email.

Same thing here. After their troubleshooting instructions (or anything I could find online) didn't work, they suggested that their crappy firmware update just "brought out some pre-existing hardware fault," and then wanted $75 to fix it. No, thank you.Don't buy a Garmin, they will just try to explain away their own mistakes.

I am not sure. I bought this when I bought the garmin, & it said "people who bought this have bought this also". Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

SONY discontinued this product since they've released newer ones. And with the age-old immutable laws of marketing, older models gradually become obsolete as new models arrive.

These are not made anymore, Garmin bought TT out in Jan of 2012 and stopped production on these late in 2013 or so.

I believe that it is discontinued so you pay different prices at different sites if you can find it.
