Pensioner,

Neat (use of satellite technology, I mean. Hint, Hint! ). Now there is a
gauge I don't have installed yet! Which Garmin unit are you using. If its the
GPS V, are you using separate antenna, or just the mini version that doubles
for the handheld mode? Where and how do you mount the unit? I'm designing a
new instrument cluster cover so I can mount a bank of 5 additional gauges and
a fuel/trip computer and perhaps this deserves a place in the design.

I have looked at the StreetPilot III with Voice, but the prices are still too
extreme. The GPS V is attractive, but no voice. The Alpine, Clarion and
Blaupunkt units are unattractive to me, but the Magellan 750 NAV would be
ideal. I'm always on the lookout for a used one.
