Pretty amazing deal going on over at Amazon that I stumbled across – thought I would pass it along.

Garmin is running a $50 Mail in Rebate on the Forerunner 405 and the new blue Forerunner 405 CX – that has yet to ship from Amazon – your can pre-order for shipping June 10. Buy before the end of June and you qualify – see the rebate form (PDF Link) for details.

On top of that, if you buy the Forerunner 405 or Forerunner 405CX, and add the Forerunner 50 sports watch to the cart, you will get the Forerunner 50 for free – the price gets adjusted at checkout. Buy them and give one away as a present!

While it may not be THE reason to come to Boston, it might make sense to grab this free driving tour of Boston and see a few locations around town that are meaningful to JFK. You can download the file to a Garmin or TomTom, or just follow some printed directions to get from historical place to historical place. The tour was assembled by the Boston Globe, and put up by Geovative, where you can find a lot of other GPS tours for download.

The Geomate Jr. is an out of the box Geocaching GPS that comes loaded with thousands of Geocaches so it’s ready to go without connecting it to a computer. The database of 250,000 geocaches is impressive, and the simple interface can get you from here to there in a child friendly way. I will say that if you are sitting in your house, and want to go geocaching, there is a bit of a decision process to go through around location, difficulty, and Geocache type that I find using the Geocache website helpful to screen through the list of possible geocaches out there. From the review at CNet, the unit seems simple enough for kids to use, and enjoy getting outdoors.

For $69 it’s a cheap way to get into Geocaching. At REI – The Apisphere Geomate Jr
