   I have no use for either device, but I also don't really like portable   
   / wireless things (the batteries always run out just when you most need   
   them). The small book-based map I keep in the one of the passenger side   
   storage compartment works just as well for the few times I ever need   
   one ... not to mention being cheaper and probably "upgraded" less often   
   than most other people unecessarily buy the latest electronic toy.
