Which GPS unit?

I bought Microsoft Streets and Trips which came with a USB GPS sensor for $70.00 and just use my laptop. It worked wonderfully driving from Alabama up to Alaska last summer. Especially driving through Canada which was an unexpected drive since I was supposed to catch a ferry in Washington, but it broke down and I had to drive to Prince Rupert, B.C. in two days. Not to mention that while someone else is driving you can play solitare in the passenger seat. With the large center console on the Tundra you can put your laptop right there beside you.

Another vote for Garmin here, I love the 276c (or the new/upgraded version, the 476c) if you're into more topo/off-roading stuff. For strictly on-road riding/driving and a more dumbed down, simpler to use GPS (can you cay no manual needed), the Zumo is fantastic.

Most garmins have those features and turn by turn voice prompts as well .

Plus a much bigger screen than your blackberry , and it works with satelite no cell phone towers .

Point is the blackberry is not a gps unit .
