I have been told that there are Garmin units that will do that.

I'm not familiar with the Garmin product line so I can't say.


Here's one. Can't speak for how it performs on the water.

I don't chew gum while walking.

Then again, I have dentures.

You should have flossed at least every other year, at the same time you
were changing your impeller.

I did - it was more of a case of zigging rather than zagging. :)

D'OH!!!

"Short Wave Sportfishing" wrote in message I have had
one accident in 40+ years of driving and it was literally
the other guys fault - I was rear ended at a stop light because he was
drunk off his ass.

I rest my case. :)

That is just lucky. I have been in several accidents. Only one my fault.
That was a slide on ice at about 5 mph. Had one car, that it seemed every
time I stopped or parked it, somebody nailed it. Stop light, and guy with
no brakes working. 4 times hit while parked. twice hit and run. My last
pickup got hit in a parking lot as I got ready to back out of the spot. Guy
was working 2 shifts and fell asleep while driving. Accidents are not
always avoidable. Towing a boat, it is really hard to avoid accidents, so
you need a appropriate tow vehicle. Give some distance to the next guy and
some ahole will cut in at the last moment. Especially when freeways divide.
Same aholes that pass everyone and cut in at the last possible second.

me..much.

Your review mirror is mounted on the windshield and if you have a toll
pass system (like EZ Pass) that has to be mounted on the windshield.

Don't know if this viable everywhere, or on every car, but since I
don't use my EZ pass much, I just wrapped a couple big rubber bands on
it to keep it from sliding, and keep it in the glove box. When I go
on the tollway, I put it on the dash against the window. Works fine.

I would be more concerned at the amount of drug or alcohol impaired
drivers than somebody playing with their GPS.

I'm thinking about getting a GPS, but can't justify the cost for the
driving I do. OTOH, if it will do double duty on a boat I might just
go for it now. What's good for both car and boat, or is there such an

It is not me, but the wife who needs one. I do mapquest maps for her, but
they have errors so many times. And my wifes friend's kids gave her a GPS.
Lady as zero directional sense.

Try Orbit citrus mint. It doesn't stick to my fake teeth at all.
