Talk to Chris and Joan Cox at the next meeting (tomorrow night, btw). They
bought a Garmin car-mounted GPS, and used it travelling somewhere in the
fall, and were extremely impressed with it's capabilities. I don't think
it was a Nuvi, but it was one of the use-in-your-car models.
Garmin now makes a motorcycle-oriented one, which is just like their other
ones but more usable when wearing gloves, and more weather-resistant. I
was thinking that the glove-usability might translate into good in-flight
usability (while you're bouncing around in air, for example).
But in the meantime, my Garmin 76CS will do me fine. It will do
turn-by-turn navigating if you buy the turn-by-turn maps for it, but I
haven't done that.
