Holy crap what a difference it makes when touring! I actually found the flight 93 memorial thanks to that thing.

After I sold the KS (with the GPS) I was lost (pardon the pun) and intended to buy another Garmin, but mom ended up getting me a tomtom for Christmas 07 and so I mounted that in the car....then I got the RT with one mounted already on it.

It's really a great tool, but like with any tool, you have to assume it can't do everything, and I print overall maps from googlemaps when I take a trip JUST IN CASE.

But they're life savers when there's a traffic jam and you need to avoid the next 5 miles of hiway
