With the garmin, I'd add way points along the way so I could force back roads, avoid intersections in busy areas w/o lights, etc. I can't do that w/ the car GPS but I can say avoid 495, avoid rt 3.

You can't do that w/o data access. FWIW - has anyone worked on TCP over text messages? If they can do it over carrier pigeons...
