Review: Why a GPS?
Christmas (2005) comes around and my parents ask me over and over what I want this year and I realize that I no longer have a huge list of toys and video games as I did when I was younger. So I gave it a lot of thought and...

Pros: Nice screen, light weight, easy to put unit in and take out of mount.
