I've been playing around with the GPS on it, and it's pretty decent. It's 
really a personal thing if the screen is big enough for you or not. Generally 
you shouldn't be looking at the screen much while driving regardless. ;-) Most 
PPC navigation software you get should have voice command built into it (not 
all do though, so be sure to check if you do buy). If I decide to get the 
software for it, I'm thinking of waiting for the upcoming release of OnCourse 
Navigator (based on iGo) which has a great interface and tons of POIs, and they 
say should have text-to-speech capabilities (so it can read street names and 
places rather than just the usual 'turn right', 'turn left' stuff.)
