I have a feeling Maxim1 don't need no stinking gps maps.

I've got a feeling maxim1 could get you a nuke if you wanted it.

I wonder what happened to the girl that _itched slapped him???? I guess he got daddy to take care of that too!

Sorry.........not trying to hijack the thread, just could not resist talking about our fellow comrade in Mother Russia.

You can dial the phone through the GPS, either by entering the number directly, or, when locating a POI (point of interest, like a restaurant), hitting “dial” on the POI and it will call that POI directly (it has the phone numbers of these places in the database). When someone calls you, the GPS says “Incoming call from XXX” and you press a button to answer the phone. The GPS has a microphone and speakers, so it is hands free while you are driving. Some GPS’s, like the Nuvi 660, have an FM transmitter. This means you hear the phone call over your car stereo speakers.

Good description. You can also transfer your cell phone call list* to the Nuvi, provided your phone is capable. It also features voice dialing directly through the Nuvi as well.

*Address book syncing allows you to look up and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or your phone's call history log.

I've used a TomTom One and it was great. I've heard it's absolutely the best in Europe/Asia.
