Well, I ended up picking up that Magellan RoadMate 800 over the weekend for a stellar $155 out the door, thanks Brian!!

So far, I have absolutely no complaints! The device works great, the cradle/window mount is well designed and the software is very intuitive. Also, I noticed that it's great at re-calculating routes on the fly, doesn't take long at all.

I entered a couple of addresses that I already knew my way to right after I picked up the device, just so I could see how it worked. Later in the day I had the chance to enter an address that I actually had never been to and didn't really know the surrounding area of that well either.

This was a newer housing development, and much to my surprise, the device not only guided me right to the front of the house, but it also told me which way to turn my head as I was rolling down the street so that I could see the house. Effectively the device took me to the doorstep of my intended location.

Nothing but 5/5 rating for this device from me.

Oh I almost forgot, this thing is so fucking cool that I can literally type in "Starbucks" in the points of interest field, and it will give me a list of Starbucks within the radius that I specify and then I can just pick on and go. How fucking insane is that?
