Thanks. I bought the NUVI 360. Bluetooth, maps and POI worked fine so far. However directions to specific addresses manually inputted were all messed up but perhaps it was me<g>. I'll find out over time. Also I'm probably going to need a much better mount/cradle than provided by Garmin and have a permanent cradle next to the A/C and stereo with automatic charging when the auto is on.. The suction cup setup on either the dash or the windshield I'm not too crazy about.. One of the best setups I had pre bluetooth were those hands free self charging tightly secured cradles for cell phones popular 6-7 years ago..That speakerphone/charger/antenna setup worked fine for me..

I have an iPaq 2459 running Windows Mobile 5.0 connecting to a Socket GPS through bluetooth. The navigation software with map is generated with Netropa/Intellinav/Routis-Deluo/Navteq. I read the Routis Navigation software review gpsinformation.org that says: "Tapping a poi object on the screen brings up the name of the object but no further information. Pressing tap and hold (right mouse button) on any screen object will bring up a menu. The menu shows the address range and road name if appropriate and permits you to select this spot as the source or destination for a route." What does it mean by "Pressing tap and hold (right mouse button) on any screen object"? Nothing happens when I tried every possible combinations of tapping and press/hold actions in order to specify a new destination on my iPaq 2495. Is that function limits only to POIs on the screen map view? TIA for any response.
