good tool to have

this garmin does exactly what you'd expect it to. it also has some neat little bells like a real-time gas mileage gauge. i think the controls were pretty easy to figure out, i only had difficulty figuring out how to edit stops on a route. good screen, decent enough size and bright enough. pretty much worth the 120 i paid for it!
