    Not sure where you shop or how you do math but we started selling the
2610 at $760.00 and now they are $650.00 (after the rebate expired and the
price drop went into effect). With my simple math skills that is about a 14%
drop in price. If you are talking MSRP's that doesn't mean squat in the real
world with most Garmin product prices.
