[gps-talkusers] Re: GPS Talk

I think that you are correct about the maps.  Most of the streets don't 
change much.  I have found some new ones, but not enough to keep me from 
getting there.  I am asking two hundred fifty dollars for the complete 
system including epack but not including computer.  The one nice thing about 
GPS talk is that it can run on a slow computer as long as you have enough 
memory.  So if you want you can get an old low cost lap top to use it with.
