Pretty cool. She'll love it, and it will save about $2000 on your next car purchase! -- John H Probably no savings on the next car. then I will inherit the GPS for the truck. Looking at a Saturn Vue Hybrid for her next car. I did a quick look and couldn't find the GPS as an accessory for the Vue. Does it come with one? When I bought the wife the Highlander, the 'Navigation System' was in the $2000 range. Her Garmin was in the $300 range, and she's very happy with it. -- John H |

I thought she was a teacher...and capable of her own purchases? Does she have to give you her paycheque....do you dole out an allowance to her? |

We get to buy the vehicles and the wife specifies everything else (except the boat). |

If she didn't do that, there would be a freakin' fleet of center consoles sitting in the driveway. :) |

The Garmin GPS is so much easier to use than the one installed in the $65K!!! SUV. I'll never buy that option again unless (as in this case) it was part of a package I wanted. I now have two GPS's in one vehicle but I only use the Garmin. Maybe the Germans will catch up one day but I still like the portability. You made the right move. Dan |

There are several. Some relate to foreign languages but others are free firmware upgrades. |
