Yeah, it came with a CD with the maps on it, but that means plugging in the laptop and manually loading any *city* that I think I might need help in...and it had better not be very many cities, 'cause it only holds 150mb, which doesn't get you too far in the map world apparently, 'cause when I attempted to upload my route to Martin, MI next week it made it from my house to about southern Illinois before it was out of memory. It has all the road stuff on it all the time, but all of the *extra* stuff (like ANY street info, or gas/restaraunt/attraction info) has to be manually loaded for *each* city...this may very well be how all the nav systems work, I honestly don't know, but it's just not what I had in mind...
Schony: don't encourage the old man! I've seen him in action with a small tractor and a loader...a dozer will be scary! LOL!! But I'm not too worried about him getting lost, though, as I'm thinking the path of destruction will be easy to track!!
