I use a program called GPSy (www.gpsy.com) with my duo 280c and also used to use it with my duo 250 (grayscale) and it worked very well. I also use StreetAtlas 4.0 with the 280c (68LC040). It was a bit sluggish with the 250 (68030). If you go to http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&group=sci.geo.satellite-nav you will find that most people there are PC people and some will insist you need a minimum of a 400MHz pentium. Well, that may be true if you are using a PC ;-) I don't know. But a 68LC040 is plenty fast enough to do the job well with the two programs mentioned above.
