I just put my wife in the copilot seat, she is always telling me what to do
I might as well make good use of her back seat driver skills. Then when the
directions are wrong it is her fault.

Re: Navigation system
I've been looking at the MAgellan ones.
They have a Sportrak Topo that is excellent! It looks great anyways...
They have the full US topo maps preloaded!
BUT....this does me no good since I'm in Canada. I've talked to them and
they are pushing a Canadian version in to production but no date set yet.
Advertised for the backcountry explorer (fishing/hiking/offroading....etc.)
I don't think it has an active compass (derived by movement!).
But I like the idea of the topo's.... Don't really have need for roads,
although my next choice is the Sportrak Map ones....
