Is Garmin joking!

I received the below in an email from Garmin. Whereas my Nuvi 765T is not a new model, its not that old and I've had it for less than a year. BTW, while Garmin states the Nuvi 765T and similar models are not weather resistant like their Zumo models, kept out of a driving rain or under plastic, the Nuvi does just fine.


Trade in your old unit – Save on a new one!

Now, only at the Garmin store, you can trade in your old Garmin and receive a credit towards the purchase of a new Garmin automotive or fitness unit! It's a great way to save as you upgrade your navigation capabilities. Oh, and we'll make sure your old unit is recycled properly for you. Trade-in any of the nüvi® units below for a $35 credit towards a new purchase:

*
nüvi 205
*
nüvi 205 Black
*
nüvi 205W
*
nüvi 255
*
nüvi 255W
*
nüvi 265WT

they didn't say a "working unit" so I guess if you had a broken one it would be good deal

Wonder if this has anything to do with their recall of some of these units due to battery problems, I have a nuvi 205w that they just replaced the battery in under the recall.... you can check about the recall on garmin's website based on serial number.

Sad part is that they will probably generate some business from it. As the saying goes, there's a sucker born every minute.

The really sad thing is, is that my android phone with Google Navigate and a host of other nifty travel related apps CRUSH the functionality of just about every GPS out there...It must be hard times to be GPS maker these days.
