Yeah Larry, Cody, You're right.  The cell phone idea doesn't fit with 
my needs.  A larger display, hands free, is what I think I need.  The 
4.3 inch Streetpilot display I have now works pretty well for me.  In 
fact, if I could get updated maps for the unit I'd probably stay with 
it.  Unfortunately, Garmin is no longer supporting the unit.  (Thanks, Garmin.)
