This is for sure... even an old out of date GPS is a fine tool compared to the old days... :)
But.. I want a new one..
Here's some features I'd like in one that I thought of on my last trip..
#1.. I couldn't see the screen on my ol' Garmin 330 with sunglasses on...
#2.. I'd like to know the %/degree of slope I am ascending/decending..
#3.. On the 'Recent Locations' screen.. I need more info than the street address... '2912 East Parkway' doesn't do me much good 3 months later when I am trying to quick enter a previous destination...
#4.. FOR SURE.... I want an altimeter on the map screen..
#5.. I want the speedometer on the map screen.. I found it critical to use the digital GPS speedo on downshifts in the little LeSharo 5 speed.. 2-3 miles an hour to late and you miss keeping the engine power curve...
6.. oh ya... auto pilot feature for Nev and Wy.... :)
I do have S&T.. need an update.. only used it for some trip planning, not while driving..
Costco has the Nuvi 855 for $299.. anyone got one??
