We use the Garmin Nuvi work great small enough to fit in your pocket,
has its own battery and is also a MP3, as well as it will store photos.
It comes with a suction mount and I have mounted the plate they
supply on the heater box on the Healey and the GPS works just great
under the dash.
I also have used it several times flying once to Chicago and once to
Spokane the stewardess seen it and never said anything about turning
it off. How many times have you been in an airplane looking down and
wondering what that was down there. The GPS stayed right up with the
plane and i could tell where we were at all times.
