Well... I've joined the Libretto GPS group! Got a Garmin eMap off EBay for $116 + $8 shipping and an aftermarket combo power/data cable for $20 + $5 shipping. I had Delorme Street Atlas... so I took a spin around the city the other day and listened to SA give me instructions (a couple 'turn right' instructions when it was marked to turn left on the map... but what the heck) on the route. Got lost a couple times, and found it really great to be able to look at my position on a map, see the marked route, the marked track of where I strayed, and be able to see the exact streets I need to take to get back on track. Too cool! Now I want to head out tgravelling again! I found the Ins key was great to get an updated voice prompt on what the next turn was. And I thought it'd be really nice if I could hit a key and get the screen to blank out, and another to wake it up. Is this anything that has been done, or may be at all possible? I can always flip the lid closed, and then flip it up again when I want to hit the Ins key... but it'd be nice if I could get the screen to blank out by hitting a key.
