You now have hrs of music, a fully functioning GPS, and a pocket PC.

Everything will blue tooth to everything.
PDA stays in bag, or pocket of jacket.
All that sounds really good, except your left without a screen display.

I've been thinking of getting one of the Garman Zumo's. They make 2 models that are designed to be used on motorcycles. Touch screen, with all controls on the left side for easy access well riding.

The 450, and the 550. The units are the same, except the 450 doesn't have blue tooth, text to talk, or xm satellite radio. The 450's can be bought for about $600.

Both units have a new antenna technology that allows a stronger signal, some users are reporting that they don't loose their signal even when they go in their basements.

If anyone has one of these, I really love to hear your comments on it.

Ever notice that the person
telling you to calm down
is the same one that got you worked up
in the first place.
