As I told Lee... I found Streets had a lot more info on points of interest 
along routes that SA.  I tried RA too... and didn't find it had many 
redeeming merits.  But I wanted something that would make routes, and was 
relatively happy with Streets for that.  GPS will be new for me.  Seems what 
you and Lee are saying is that just about any port on the old Lib will fast 
enough to keep up with most GPSs.
