My parents, brothers and sister all went together to get me a Garmin Nuvi for my birthday. Pretty nice unit, 4 x 3 screen, even displays my speed. I wonder if it will show the paths if I use it on my road bike.
Definitely will be a big help finding new customer's houses.

I can set my Nuvi to "off road" and it will give a general indication of your location. However, it does not show paths through the woods, etc. I guess you can buy and load additional maps that would provide this sort of data.
Scott, that's a really nice gift. Enjoy | |

Very nice! As far as GPS goes... Garmin is the ONLY way to go! I have myself a Garmin Nuvi 200W, got it before I went for a job interview in Buffalo a few weeks ago and it served me well! Nuvi FTW. | |

The one I got was the 200W too.
Got me right to a new customer's house this morning, even got the estimated time of arrival correct. I guess it uses my current speed plus the speed limits on the roads I'll be on to figure it out.
