 Sounds like a great toy, but I am not sure why a PC magazine reviews GPS devices, especially those trying to make us keyboard potatos fit! That seems like a conflict of interest, aqnd if you keep widening your remit, PCA will keep losing its depth! I, for one, do not support that trend and my sub renewals are due in the mail anyday!
Oh well, at least I can relate to Garmin. I was born an hour west of them, and grew up living two hours south (both by car).
