So, my requirements for a GPS in priority order.
1. Ability to create routes with many (25+) waypoints such that I have granular control on the route.
2. Multi-state maps on the SD card available to the mapping routine. Please, none of that rectangle map construction ala Delorme SAHH for me thanks. I just want all the maps available at all times.
3. Fast route and reroute generation (some are really, really slow).
4. Clear voice guidance with optional TTS.
5. 3D perspective map guidance
6. Ability to plan routes on the pc and download them to the PPC.
7. Big finger menu navigation on the PPC touch screen.
8. Very high contrast map display.
PW...sounds like you just described the difference between a $200 gps unit and an $800 gps unit. Try one of the higher end units (my garmin 2620 does all of these except 3d mapping, the 27xx and above models do that too) and you will see that all of yer requirements are met. So as with everything else in life, you get what you pay for. PDA's as a whole, suck.
