Garmin USA TOPO - Part Numbers & Price

[k6uk]

So, since I recently ordered a 276c, I thought I would pick up Garmins USA Topo software while I was at it. But when I started shopping online I found two part numbers.

010-10215-02
&
010-10215-12

The -12 version is cheaper everywhere. For example at amazon.com $67.99 vs $99.00 for the -02

So I wrote Garmin, and was pleasantly suprized to find that they are identical:

Just wanted to pass it on.

There has to be a difference.... I do not understand why they would have two part numbers for the exact same product?

[Scott Brady]

must be packaging, like maybe one includes a data cable or something.

[k6uk]

Nope. No data cable.
But perhaps one is boxed and one is just shrink wrapped.
Something like that.
The contents are identical.

FYI

Got mine today from Amazon.
The -12 version comes in a blister-pack.
With manual, CDs, and a little box.
So it was worth the savings.

You mean I paid $99 for the same thing?

I paid $71 for my full, orginal boxed (02) version.
