If you are concerned about angles and sunglasses, take it out for a "test drive"
My ancient Garmin iQue would automatically from switch daylight to night time display brightness. Very shortly the GPS units are going to combine the Google street view with a real time display so you'll see the actual street picture on the display. It will be pretty neat stuff. But seriously Ans, I'd be happy to be your chauffer ("Driving Miss Ansley").

Charles it's good to see you back around.

I have a TomTom and like it quite a bit. Works well for me.
I think I just got woozy from this post.

Where do I put my legs? Is that thing gonna stick me in the back? What if my leg goes to sleep? How are we gonna clean up afterwards? Have any of you tried taking your jeans and boots off in the back seat lately?...or do I just leave them on? Will my belt buckle poke her? I don't really recall thinking about all these logistics back then.

I don't know how well it works...but as far as gadgets go...it looks pretty cool.
