Eek, just don't go to Boston then, (Having lived in both...) where all the streets were laid out by cows (litterally cow paths) and most of the streets are one way. An old New England saying is "you can't get there from here..."

This actually kind of amuses me and fills me with hope. I wrote marcosoft, the folks that has designed the software for the Handy GPS mentioning the fact that the Handy GPS is no longer mentioned in their website, and that they mentioned "several" new snap on gps modules. The following is the complete response:

That's true, we got tired of this long delay. We have been ready

That is what we understand from various sources. It will take time though.
To recommend any one ...first we must get it and fully test it.

Stay tuned.
