Does anyone have any experience with the Garmin GPS units?  Specifically
the Drivesmart 55 and for US/Canadian travel?

I am looking for a unit that will allow me to customize my route, i.e. if
it picks the fastest or shortest and I decide I want to take a side road
that I have heard is more scenic.

In past I have not been so interested in GPS because I would rather use
maps.  However, in recent years, my eyesight has gotten where it would be
nice to have something tell me where to turn, but only if I had some input
in setting the route.  :)
