Re: GPS Unit



Everything you mentioned, the garmin StreetPilot c330 does.

In the lower right corner is the time to the next turn. In the lower left
corner is the time at arrival at destination. Press the lower right corner
and you get the dashboard which gives you speed, direction, miles to
destination, etc. I thought like you that the screen would be too small,
but I find in practice that it is not. My unit is one of the lower end in
price. There are other units that will do much more. For instance, although
you can save waypoints to your laptop, you cannot plan a route on your
laptop, then move it over to the c330.

What I would really like is a GPS I could mount on the dash & it tell
me info like MPH, Distance & Time to next Waypoint, direction,
altitude etc. I am not impressed with trying to read a map from those
small screens. But the Distance & Time to the next waypoint would be
cool. (I program my own waypoints in based on Highway changes, Exits
planned etc)
