Automotive Navigation/GPS Systems

Thanks for the replies. One thing for sure is that if I get to doing any serious shopping for a Nav system I will be reading the fine print because for that much money I dont want something that I have to bring in and connect to my PC and be downloading Mapquest on!

Ah but mapquest sucks.

I've found that the time it takes to select the maps I need is really not bad at all. I've got the entire state of Kansas on mine at all times.

Adding Florida when I went a few monts ago took about 5 minutes.

After I saw this thread, I started looking at the directions for my Palm Phone. If I go to Mapquest on the 'puter, and find my destination, at the top, it has a button to download to PDA. If I push that button, it will load the software directly to my Palm Phone, then another hot-sync loads the directions I just found. I guess I could just continue adding addresses as I need them. The only thing again.........Mapquest is known to make mistakes or forget about a road that's been closed..........

Anyway, it was available, it costs nothing and was easy to do. It's just mapquest-based. But now I have directions! Thanks, Wordy, for makin' me curious!!
