Title: My dog can play poker . . .
Product review: The old joke goes, my dog can play poker. But he's no good - - he wags his tail whenever he gets a good hand.The StreetPilot is amazing. It really communicates with satellites. It can tell where you are, and find routes to other addresses.Of course, it's a slow and painful battle to enter the target address with the one-wheel-no-buttons interface. It has a tendency to choose nasty snaky routes with thousands of turns, presumably in an effort to save you 1/2 mile versus a sensible route on major arteries. Every now and then it directs you into a parking lot or a nonexistent exit. It's constantly losing the satellite signal. Then it falls off the window ... again.You can make the effort to use this unit and marvel at the things technology can do.Or, you can use Mapquest, print a nice map, and be ready to go in 15 seconds.
