  HEY ! what is wrong with a GOOD FIAT ?  a little twin-overhead cam 
V6, 3  2-barrel webers and its breaks down just as often as my 
Spridget powered car....oh wait, the Spridget powered car has not run 
yet, it is not finished.

  Ok, back to navigation systems, I have a IPAQ PDA with a GPS system 
on it, I love it, its bright, clear and works really nicely.  I can 
put it on my motorcycle or car(s).  The only complaint I have with it 
is the voice commands are too quiet in the car with the radio 
on.   And after that comment about manly men not needed navigation 
devices, I would like to say I used it on the FIAT to calibrate the 
speedometer that only reads in KPH, I made a nice little chart with 
MPH for the KPH reading, yes I could have done the math but who knows 
how accurate the speedo was to begin with.   I do know that the MPH 
reading from the GPS is close enough to not have gotten me any tickets yet.
