Touch screen and that's another thing I forgot to mention.

THE NUMBERS AND LETTERS ARE FREAKIN HUGE!!! :)

Actualy, it's a really simple process - select the address input, the
machine selects the state/town as you type it in, same with the street
and finally the number. You can input it on the fly if it's
positioned right.

Or you can select a destination - it has a built in feature that I
don't use - or at least haven't yet.

All this is interesting.
Last month I purchased a garmin GPSMAP60Cx and bought the marine charts for
the area of Nova Scotia that I'll mostly boat on.
I mentioned to the wife that I'd like the topographical maps of Canada for
Christmas. She asked about the highway/street mapping.....but since the
screen is so small on my portable handheld, I wonder if it would be more
practical to buy a separate unit for the truck/van rather than spending
$150.00 on software.

You an spend the money on a Garmin or TomTom and get Canada/US road
maps preloaded.
