[AT] Off topic somewhat- GPS down on the farm

[charlie hill]

Wayne,  most any of them now will do that.  It's just a matter of features. 
Sounds like George is making you a heck of an offer.  If you decide instead 
to buy one I believe you would do well to choose one that also gives you 
driving directions.  They really don't cost much money these days 
considering what they will do.

I still use a very old Magellan that still works well but it's a bit slow 
and is obsolete by todays standards.
