Hi MNL,
Can't you get a laptop with the GPS and map software?
Or the smaller GPS with output to a laptop, or better yet a LCD monitor.
I want the laptop with DVD burner and satilite internet access, get all the
toys in one.
They have the GPS now with voice comand so you could drive by listening<g>
All of your toys are expensive!
The Lexu$ probably cost a couple of bu$hel$ of buck$ too.
It is only money after all.
Somebody has to spend it and boost the economy.

Thanks Mike. I've been looking at those, and the Magellan 750nav. I was
hoping to find some with a larger display that's easier to read while
driving. My wife just got a Lexus SC430 and it has a huge display for
GPS.......very easy to read. My intent is to use this while driving to a
fire with lights on, etc., and therefore it has to be easy to read. I was
also hoping to find some more reasonabl;e costs. The Magellan is around
$2000. Expensive little toy huh!?! <laugh>
