I used to like the TeleAid on my prior E320. Middle of the night, you want to grab a bite or you are in a hurry to go to dinner, call em up , they would arrange my reservations or tell me what was open at 4am when I got out of a club, for example. So it was live people to talk to. THAT"s what I would like, but would settle for being able to have a menu to choose from on the GPS, ie "show me BK within 1 mile" ....

Anything like that on the market?
One meter (usually about .3m) with real-time, dGPS.

The add-ons like locations and phone numbers for restaurants, bars, and hospitals are subscription-based. Lesser info can be had for free. Look for Tiger files, digital orthophoto quadrangles, topographic maps, and shape files on the internet. Your better GPS systems can display them as backdrops with your position superimposed.
