Lowrance Invites Garmin Owners To Drop By

If you have an aging GPS, and a friend on the grounds at OSH, you may soon be thinking of express mailing option. With bubbles of excitement frothing over the color-screened, terrain aware, weather-displaying, satellite music playing Garmin 396 handheld wonderbox, Lowrance has made an offer — limited in time to the duration of AirVenture (now through July 31). Anyone walking the Oshkosh show grounds carrying older Garmin products — or owners of any competing GPS product — can exchange the units for a rebate letter worth $50-$100. Lowrance will put that dollar amount toward your purchase of any Lowrance AirMap series GPS. (The largest rebate for the most expensive unit.) For faithful Lowrance AirMap owners, larger rebates reflect a respect for customer loyalty and range from $100-$225. Find Lowrance on the showgrounds at Booth B-2096 in Hangar B and ask for Larry Toering, Shelly Keas or Grant Farrell. If you miss that deadline … well … there’s always eBay.
