I have the StreetPilot (non color) that I used
to navigate from San Diego to Detroit and back for
the RT meet, plus I use it daily in San Diego for
work (DSL installer, so I drive around quite a bit
each day). I mount a quick release base on the dash
with the 'silly puddy' they provide, then lock the
unit into that. Plug the cord into the power adapter
(Cigarettes are going bye bye), and that's about it.
I have very good coverage, plus the mileage/Mph is accurate
within 12-20'...so very accurate...
