p.s. Once they come out with OLED devices in about 4 years or so pretty much everything is going to look outdated.
The screen is not even in color. Yes, it's very bulky, I even bought a windshield suction cup for it, but it doesn't stay up very well cause it's so heavy. The maps are outdated as well, and everything has to be loaded by my computer which takes a lot of time. You can only have a certain amount of sections downloaded in the system. It's very annoying.

I am actually leaning towards the Garmin Nuvi. No loading maps, they are all in there for the continental US. It's small and light, in color and it's a good brand name. A friend told me about it this morning and said it was perfect. I'm going up to Roswell after the race today to buy one.
