ahhh... interesting. All valid concerns for sure. The 280 part sounds aggravating... as i f'n hate 101 and take 280 at any chance i get. Interesting. 20-30 seconds to redraw a map seems very excessive, aggravatingly so. As for having features like "closest bank to waypoint"... there's no way you're gonna get anything like that for $400. Systems like that cost upwards of $1600... so that's part of the tradeoff i knew i was getting into for such a cheap unit. Wait... now that i think about it... doesn't the included CD have CityGuide typs tuff with info like that that you have to load up for a certain city?

My experiences so far have been me tracking it on the UPS website. So far it seems pretty accurate... it says it has left it's destination...

I'll post my thoughts as soon as i get it. Visuvius just ordered one too...

[edit] yeah... for the points of interest stuff. It should do stuff like that with the MetroGuide info...
