Kinda  off topic, but does anyone use a GPS? Or have one? I think I want  
one.
I rented Hertz cars with NeverLost which seemed pretty good, but  the 
tv-advertised ones have touch screen which is handier.
If mounted  on the dash, can the display get washed out?  Thanks for any  
comments.   -ron 65,66





I bought the expensive kind - it came with my new-to-me  2005 car. I see it 
as a toy, I wouldn't have paid the money for it, but  it was already installed 
in the car. The display does wash out a bit in  bright sunlight. The strangest 
thing is watching it get really,  really confused when I am running an 
autocross in the car.  It finally  gives up and waits for me to stop - then it 
acquires the sat signals again. But  If I lived in a confusing city (SF?) or 
delivered packages for a living  (UPS/FEDEX?) I would be using it a lot. Maybe I'll 
need it when I get older!  <grin> - Seth Emerson
