Cheapies!!

And I can't believe RJH&Co!! He has a 2008 911 with that ridiculously overpriced, single-purpose stopwatch, but he was too cheap to get a car with builtin navigation???

I've got the 670 and it's great. Especially after recently moving to Minneapolis from Virginia--from the country to the city (I used to be on faculty at Virginia Tech)--and getting to know a new place it's wonderful!
What brought you to Minneapolis?

I've had my 660 since Dec of 06 and I have no complaints about it. It's a great device!

I use a Gen2 TomTom One with the latest maps. It Bluetooth tethers to my phone to access the Internet for traffic, weather, and construction/accident updates. It also has the ability to send and receive map corrections from TomTom or from the user community. Pretty amazing little device.

Got a sweet job at Honeywell, and my wife's family is nearby. Got tired of the academic politics, and other things.

Plus, there's much more to do in the city (e.g., arts, music, nightlife). It was a 90-mile round trip just to go to Sam's at VT--nothing to do there (except hike, which was great).
