 RE: Streets & Trips
I agree with Frank on the use of S&T.  I'll add that the little GPS USB
receiver that shipped with my current version of S&T is far, far superior to
the Delorme GPS receiver I used with S&T before, much faster and very
sensitive, even works in my third floor condo unit (with another floor above
me, frame building).  And I've seen Franks setup in the Vanagon, sweet.  The
size of the display is one of the main reasons I went to the Garmin 7200, 7"
and much easier to use than the smaller Pioneer GPS unit I was using.  The
7200 also has a voice loud enough to hear in a Vanagon and a remote control
that makes using the 7200 quite easy when driving.  But I still use S&T for
planning and getting estimates of miles and time even though to meet the S&T
travel time estimates would require an engine swap, probably to a Warp
engine.
