It is extremely distracting to look at my laptop sitting on the seat beside
me when I drive, so when I am alone I usually just use the map on the GPS,
which sits on the dash in front of me.

They  may be building roads everywhere in your neck of the woods, but not
here, but there are provisions for drawing in the program and saving it to
your HD. I expect they are updating just as fast as the GPS manufactures do
their software, but that isn't an issue with me. I just want to be able to
find where I am and how to get back to where I started.

On my last trip back from CA, I-80 was blocked with an accident that we
(those of us stuck) were told by the State Patrol was going to take about
three hours to clean up. My setup allowed me to drive off on small farm
roads that are not on regular paper maps and get around the mess and keep on
going, which really worked for me.

My 2300c is too slow for most things I do unless it is an emergency, but
this is one thing I use it for all the time and it works for me.
