Don, You said earlier (I'm eavesdropping) that the nav unit seemed like a silly waste of funds to you. FOR you, with your two audio cd players, Library of Congress map section, and seemingly small wander-lust, this would be a silly purchase. I capitolize "for" (at the risk of shouting {=-}) 'cause this would be a silly purchase for *you*. It is not, necessarily, a silly purchase in and of itself. There are plenty of people around who would love to know where to go when they get to the Smithsonian, and in fact, *how* to get to the Smithsonian from the wilds of northwestern Montana. Perhaps with a good astrological CD, they could navigate successfully. It would be nice if you labled things that you would not do as things that you would not do because they don't fill a need/desire for you. By phrasing your comment "I think it's a silly…" you imply that the product itself is silly. If you would not buy it (yourself) until it had an astrogator's handbook inc. in its sale price, perhaps the product isn't silly, but "currently impractical for you." {=-} Paul
