Regarding the GPS. I feel that a dedicated GPS, mounted on the dash is safer. I used mine to great advantage, while driving to, and from Kansas City. It does well in the cities and some towns around here, so I might be looking at the update, which comes out, once a year, for $75. To use the handheld, while driving, I would consider, not the safest way to go. We are hearing of people in accidents, caused by inattention due to texting a message, while driving. I do realize of course, that we as painotechs, would never text, while driving :-). John M.
