Something to think about
As you all may know nothing works for me the right way the first time. I had to reformat my hard drive 3 times on a escalating frustration factor when first going paperless with the Nuvi.
I also have had a horrible time while out at the Mid West Geo Bash Mega event when my wifi card died. I found a Netbook Acer cheap and bought it , but could not for the life of me get GSAK to cooperate again. Finally got it working after a lot of help for friends. Just erased it and started over again. It worked.
Now I 'm relaying this to you to emphasize my point. The Nuvi was and is a Godsend to me. I would spend hours with maps and printing things out trying to find locations that I needed to be for work and caching. Then I would still be lost. The Nuvi fixed all that right out of the box as soon as I turned it on. Perfect.
After Weeks of screwing around with GSAK and the POI loader and not asking for help, I got the Paperless caching and all the caches in the State in there. All the info from the cache pages except the pictures. Again perfect. What a great device that turned out to be. Got the Nuvi for a present and it only cost $100. I have the 200.
Now a lot of people may not be aware of how the new werigo caching works. I attended two seminars on this great new caching experience and participated in one of the adventures. It takes specific equipment to run one of the werigo caches, but here is the good part, the new Nuvi 700's will run them.
The instructors at the Mega event explained some of the bugs in the werigo system and how to stay away from the bugs and how the handhelds react and the bugs with the Colorado and others. The good part is the Nuvi's ran so smooth with no glitches at all.
So, if you are looking for a new device I would suggest looking into the bigger Nuvi's, because as soon as I get the right equipment there will be a bunch of werigo's coming to your area. A bunch.
At this point they did not have the Tom Tom's working with the werigo. The instructors had been having troubles with them crashing with the programs.

I have no enemies, but I'm intensely disliked by my friends.
