you should come out west with me on a road trip then... lots of wide open country... lots of roads with 0 traffic

Some of the features I didn't get with the 205W that I have noticed in the couple minutes I been playing with the garmin program.

Real time weather
real time traffic - FREE!!!
TTS for street names
lane guidance
constantly updating POIs based of the net
can download poi's i am searching for if not found based off net

wow I can use panoramio to go to weird locations entered by other people in the area, find flight times, go to addresses listed in my contacts list. This is pretty badass for a GPS, plus i am not handicapped by AT&T's network. I am smitten.

yep, completely free of monthly fees except my phone and data plan. Cost me $80 after promo discount for the garmin software.

HUMMMMMMMM.... I'm due for a new phone in May I think

It still doesn't have interstate avoidance or route planning, but I can make do because I get internet, an mp3 player with a removable memory card and battery. It's an awesome package, it's not iphone fast or cool, but it works for me and is on the right network.

Do you have a link? That sounds really fuckin cool. The verizon navigator is pure fucking garbage, so I've avoided it like the plague.

yeah I think that's what Drewpy had in Indy and it had us do like 5 uturns in the span of 1 block... seriously... a car and 8 bikes... doing u-turn after u-turn... lucky there was no one around... cause we looked we were practicing for a fuck'n parade...
