It seems strange that garmin's stuff doesn't have a mode for pedestrian street navigation. There are places, as we all know, where you have to take a more circuitous route because of the street directions, but can be navigated much more easily on foot. Maybe bike. oh well..

Second question: Does the Garmin attempt to navigate you onto a highway, when you're on foot or on a bicycle?

It has 3 settings for things to avoid, U-Turns, Toll Roads, and Highways. It's a basic checkbox option in one of the navagition setup screens on the GPS unit.

Tell me, does the RAM mount have some easy way to detach the GPS and take it with you?

Not with the GPS V, it has 19mb built in. I believe the StreetPilot series have removable memory cartridges.

Yes, it's sort of a clamping action on the arm that locks it into position.
Here's the homepage for RAM Mount systems.
My Lowrance should be back from the factory Wednesday. (Had to be replaced, defective) I can take some better pictures if you'd like to see more detail on how it works (the RAM mount that is.)

You guys are all jerks. After reading through this thread recently, I was inspired into a fit of research which ultimately culminated in me being almost $500 poorer for the GPS V and needed accessories. Not the best move when I'm still unemployed. And, my wife's out of town and doesn't know what I've done yet. It's all your fault

I got it for free since i bought my GPS before the cutoff... i think it was April 21st or something (don't quote me on that). It's got updated data and you get the whole of the US instead of just one region.

Looks like Maha now has 2000 mAH AA batteries available. Is this definitely the kit to buy?

Come on out East and visit.. since we don't quite have the same mountainous terrain over here, we make up for it in different ways..

eg. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=44560

Come soon, and you might even claim second find..
