Very specific needs

I'm planning on buying a gps unit for my Axim X5, and my research is not going well. My needs are so specific that it's difficult to figure out what package would be best. I'm going to assume that most software will work with most GPS units - please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm running WM2003 by the way.

I'm a sales rep and I call on customers in a fairly large area. Some are close together, others are not.

The most important feature I need would be to be able to identify (like a favorite) my customer's locations so I don't have to enter them in every time. Basically, if I'm at Doctor X's office and I decide to go to Dr. Z's office next, I want to be able to set up the quickest route from where I am to where I want to go. The office locations change very rarely, but the order I see them in often does. Basically, I just want to be able to say "I want to go to Dr. Klaatu's office now, what's the quickest route from where I am?"

Next on the importance scale would be rerouting. Occasionally I hit traffic, and I'd love to be able to get off the highway and have it find me a new route that gets me around the traffic.

Useability would also be key. I can't be fooling with the stylus as I'm driving, so buttons would either have to be programmable to the real buttons on the front of the Axim, or large software buttons.

Thanks in advance for any help!
