I prefer Google Maps. But they don't help if you miss a turn, and when I'm in a strange area, I'm finding it harder to keep enough concentration on both driving and reading the directions to be safe. > My TT v6 worked great, though and on a T650 no less -- took a little > longer to acquire the blue tooth GPS receiver and then a valid > satellite signal than I would've liked, but if you're willing to sit > in your car for 30 or 40 seconds before driving off, which is what > you need to buckle up, adjust mirrors, etc. anyway, that's not Mirrors?
