Good points. If I ever was a passenger, it would be fun to play with.

For things like this I usually go to Amazon and look at the reviews.
Me? I got a cheapie from buy.com and it does what I need doing and
plays mp3's. What I use it for is mainly how far to the next stop and
how far to destination, what I like best of all is it tells the actual
speed the car is traveling, it's like having a certified speedometer.
