Dude that system only uses up to 12 satellites. You gotta get the new GPS XP. That stuff uses like, a billion satellites.
I have a Garmin 2610 in my car and am very happy. Since it uses WAS it actually is pretty decent in midtown (tall buildings) were most GPS' lose reception. The Garmin has voice commands, touch screen, remote, and easily mounted in your car. I picked up an additional antenna and built a RAM mount that bolts to my seat rail (no cutting), and am very happy with it. Besides the GPS is the only true way to accurately report speed Pix here: http://nabbs.fbody.com/Garmin/ -N
