I don't have much more to offer.  The GPS that we have runs on a
now-obsolete pocket PC.  We're in the market for a replacement GPS
system, but we're trying to make sure we can get the maps we need to
work with it.  Our horizons are a bit wide ... Mexico, especially
Baja, and Europe, expecially England and environs.

My point is, consider where you want your GPS to have coverage.
