I guess I will have to see it in person, but it really does seem that
the smaller screen would make it difficult to type. If I drove to new
areas / unfamiliar areas often I would probably get one, but I really
don't think I would use it much after I got over the newness factor. I
think it is from all my years of traveling, that I have just followed my
nose, and very rarely get lost. I also am not afraid to ask for
directions.


This is pretty close to how I view the input screen from the driver's
position.

I use it just driving around town without inputting a destination. The
other day Mrs. Wave called and sent me to a neighboring town to get
something and I had no clue where the house was. Typed the addy in
and was there in 20 minutes.

Can't beat it.
