   Only thing I'd like to do before the cold sets in is go somewhere warm ;)

   So you're all set.

   I like having one of those too, even in a plane ;)

   I'd like a GPS that has a large tablet display because I've always been into   
   reading maps and that's one of the best parts of a *good* GPS, an excellent   
   map, but I'd like to see a larger portion of it at a time.

   I've never had a 'smart' phone but I've discovered many of them have GPS   
   capability by seeing it used.
