I've been PPCing since the Jornado 540 was introduced. Before that I was Palming. But when it comes to GPS, I'm a newbie. It's just so cool to drive down the road watching the map stay under my position, getting correct directions at every turn, and instantly knowing if I went the wrong way. So far, it's just been playing around while I drive to work. But the first trip to DC should make the whole thing worthwhile.

Like a lot of folks, I'm using Holux 270 and Mapapolis. I was so impressed with Mapapolis customer service. I fired of a Q on a Saturday morning. Somebody on the other side read my message, understood it, and gave an intelligent answer within an hour. I don't know if they're always that good, but I was impressed. These days, just getting somebody who can be bothered to read a question is pretty good.

Besides that, I like having free access to the latest reader program, so I can have whatever features they come up with. And the price of the maps strikes me as being very reasonable, if you buy the US bundle. But the cost of everything put together -- wow. I spent more on GPS stuff than I spent on the Ax!

I can't wait for my DC charger to come it, so I can leave the screen light on all the time.
