Frank that thing is cute! But where's the rest of it? I bought the Garmin 7200 on Sean and several other busnuts advice, and love it! Dad was a little upset that it cost the company so much $, but after a couple of trips bus hunting he liked it better than his c330 and now also has a 7200! I have to admit it's a chunk of change to pay but I would never go back to a smaller one now! Great advice from great busnuts!

Oh yeah by the way those listed on the link have been "refurbished" so they are not new! Probably can do just as good on the  e place! ;D  BK  ;D

Glad to hear you're happy with the 7200.

Just FYI, Garmin has released several software updates for the unit, which you can download and install for free.  For example, when we got our 7200, the on-screen keyboard was only the ABCD type.  After we updated the software, we now have a choice of ABCD or QWERTY in the settings (we prefer the QWERTY).

I find now that the map and POI databases are a bit out-of-date, and I understand Garmin will release updated maps on CD in June or July.  I think they will cost around $60-$70.  We're going to update as soon as they are available -- we're tired of "Jill" taking us to the old Wal-Mart that's now a thrift store, or whatever, when the new Wal-Mart is across town someplace.
