Barry and John, re: Auto GPS Systems

About a year ago I rented a Hertz car with the GPS system in Miami. It is really very good, giving voice directions and telling you precisly when to turn. You input the destination address through a selection menu (state-city-street-number), press a button and you are on your way with a visual LCD map and the voice telling you when you should get ready to turn.

I had to go to 7 different locations in Miami, and I am completely unfamiliar with the city, which is not the easiest place to get around. It got me to each location without a single problem, and back to the rental car site. My only complaint is that I was so focused on following it's directions, I learned absolutly nothing about the city, I don't think I could find even one of those locations from memory.

I believe this is available now if you have a notebook computer, software and GPS hardware are between $200.-$300. packaged together, supposed to work great.
