Thanks to all those responded about my inquiry concerning a GPS system. I started out by looking at the higher end Tom Tom units, and was redirected, and further redirected back to the $149 model on Amazon. The software solutions for the laptop seem to have quite a few complaints, so I steered clear of those. Amazon gave the tom-tom unit a 4 1/2 out of five-star rating. Looks like some 50 people responded, so I say that's speaks pretty highly of the unit. While I'm sure there some other models that are comparable, the price seemed right, and free shipping sealed the deal for me.

Thanks again!

Troy
