Good GPS

Pros: I bought this two weeks ago becuase I do a lot of travelling. Connected it to my notebook and attached to the windshield and away I went. Excellent tracking and accurate with MS Streets & Trips 2004. It does not drain my batteries nearly as quickly

Cons: Takes awhile to find satellites at times. It may be MS Streets, but would be nice if the map reoriented.
