On Dec. 11, 2006 I asked about the Garmin 330 because I was going to
get it for Patti for Christmas.....

You then advised me to get the 340...

He decided it was worth the difference in cost, and after using it
he's really glad he got the 340. It's a nice unit. I think you'll like
it. "

Your post is one reason I went for the 340 now..... but now you seem
to be saying I should have gotten the 330.

Not at all. I was advising you to get as much GPS as you could for the
money. For very little more than the 330 you got the extra feature. If I
were buying a new one I'd look for that feature. I didn't say it
wouldn't be helpful, I just said I didn't *need* it. (Heck, I don't NEED
a GPS. I've gotten along all these years without one. But I like
gadgets, and the more features, the better.)

What I want next is one that "learns" alternate routes automatically.
That is, if I put in a route and then go a slightly different way from
what she says, the next time I want to drive that route she should ask
me whether I want to use the "new" route that I took last time, so she
doesn't have to recalculate all the time when I don't go the way she
says. That would be a nice feature.

It should also learn about new roads the same way, by assuming that if
I'm driving in a certain place there must be a road there <g> and
"learning" that new road automatically. (I know some GPSes have the
capability of adding a new road, but I want one that adds it
automatically.)
