"Not sure why you asked the question and started this thread. It seems you already had your mind made up on what works for you. Were you looking for validation?"
I need no validation, I can live with my decisions, and obviously my mind was made up some time ago. I used stand alone GPS for years until I got the phone and never looked back, until now. With all the ads for GPS I thought they may have added some new features that would justify the added cost. I haven't seen evidence of that. I thought that I made it clear why I was starting the thread.
