Nice! Are you planning on hard wiring the connection to the car's 12v, or just running off the plug?

Congrats on the new upgrade! I wish my M$ Streets and Trips GPS was a little easier to navigate with...

And if you do decide to add music to it's hdd, does it have an aux output so you can connect it to a fm transmitter or aux in on your deck at least?

Thats sweet. I'd love to put one in my car, I don't know if i'd get the use out of it to justify the expense.

That'd look pretty cool if you could mold it into the dash somehow.

Yeah when I was looking at GPS units one with a HD & MP3 playback was on my short list. I decided on mine (Garmin Quest) mainly because I'm a friggin' klutz and so anything with extra moving parts is a bad idea :lol:

Hey! That was cause we were following the written directions provided to us :rolleyes: If we had simply been given the addresses of the places at the start I could have had us there first (Allowing for route programming time of course :ph34r: )

Now mind you the route wouldn't been nearly as pretty as the one laid out for us so ;)
