I have a Tomtom One, the basic one.
Good on the main roads but it got me loster than heck in the back
hills around Santa Cruz, the machine didn't even know where I was. It
does not show Loren's test town in Arizona either.

I'm thinking that there has to be better GPS units than the Tomtom
One out there.

Does anyone use the GPS set up that you can get with MS Streets & Trips?
