    I don't use GPS. Also, GPS won't allow me to keep notes such as which areas are good, not good, gated communities, etc.

    Rodger - got that.

    My toys work anywhere in the world with out subscribing to a service provider, I'd like to see you use your cellular device in my neck of the woods, should you be lucky enough to receive a signal the roaming charges would eat up your profits.

    I'm not talking about using roaming charges at all. I'm talking about putting notes onto my cell phone in advance of the driving. I can then open my notepad without any data or roaming charges whatsoever while out covering the territory. For me this is MUCH easier, even though I have to do some legwork before I leave the house. Once the initial legwork is done, I have notes that should need minimal updating for years.

    With the GPS you can create routes with waypoints with names. A Goto command for any particular route brings up the nearest waypoint to your location.

    Saving an address in note pad then entering that data into your mapping software is a joke, try a cheap GPS you'll be amazed with its features.
