Thanks a lot

Thanks for thinking of me. I ordered a couple already from Abe's of Maine (actually in New Jersey) and they should be here today. I ended up buying the Mio C230's. I believe I paid about $180.00 apiece for them.

Man those things have come down in price this year.
Another feature that's handy to have on a portable GPS is "walk" mode and "way point". Walk lets you navigate a city on foot, way point helps you find the car in the stadium parking lot after some mind impairment

I got a Garmin for my car last winter, and now all my friends have one if they don't have built in, they freaken rock!

I don't know the model but I do remember they go for like $300-$350 on Amazon. IMHO worth every penny!
