The only drawbacks there are that: 1) I can't really get at the information one-handed while I'm quickly approaching an exit. 2) The screen resolution on the pilot sucks, so it's not really possible to see enough of a map to take an alternate route (e.g. 880S instead of 101S). 3) Then I would own a palm pilot. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
