Legal Commentary

I've been meaning to tell you how much I just love my Garmin Nuvi 200, which I've been using for about two months now. I am wondering how I ever took a business trip without it.

I picked up the unit (the basic model, other version have lots more bells and whistles) at Best Buy, on sale for about $200.

It's awesome. Small, it packs up nicely (I put it in one of the ubiquitous United bags they give out on overseas flights, the size of a small cosmetics bag). The suction device (left) easily pops into two pieces so no awkward angles when packing.

While GPS still isn't QUITE perfect (it does tilt out a bit in complex intersections), it's right about 90% of the time, which beats trying to drive and read maps.

Only caveat, which I only discovered on my last day in California: it's actually now against the law to use the suction devices in California and Minnesota, so I'll have to pick up a friction mount for my next trip West.

Don't leave home without it!
