The GPS Tracklog got the scoop on Amazon’s annual Clear-out-the-GPS Sale.

Garmin units of all stripes are on sale, with deep Amazon discounts and - more often than not - additional mail-in rebates.

I picked up my eTrex Vista around this time last year, with a king’s ransom of mail-in rebates. So far, their deal on this model isn’t all that great, but for an extra 60 bucks you can pick up the GPSMap 60CSx, which is probably the best Garmin unit you can snag … at least until the Colorado hits shelves.

Garmin Colorado?

The Groundspeak forums were all a-twitter about the possibilities of a new model called the Colorado.

It’s rumored to have all the goodies of the current Garmin line - altimeter, electronic compass, SiRFSTARIII chipset, etc. But this bad boy’s also supposed to showcase a giant, high-color display, a temperature sensor, wireless communication between devices, and - most awesomely - the ability to display aerial photos and shaded topographical maps.

It’s expected to hit stores in Spring ‘08, and retail for around $500. If that’s not true, then hopefully they’ll at least start offering some good rebates on the excellent GPSMap 60CSx.
