for originality, but looking that far down for directions is asking for trouble.

For anyone else considering this, be aware that this line of Garmin GPS screens wash out completely in sunlight, so daytime top down use would be difficult. Plus the speakers are blocked, and our cars need all the volume possible

If the audible directions are loud enough, you can use it and leave the wife and/or gf behind to get some good quality time behind the wheel. Bitching about your driving is all a passenger is good for in this car anyway and the car is more fun to drive without the added weight.

The nagging voice of the GPS criticizing your driving is so you don't miss them while you are out. Too bad it doesn't say these useful phrases as well:

"Your going too fast!"
"Let's stop and ask directions!"
"The road's too bumpy!"
"Why the hell did you waste (y)our money on this stupid car anyway?"
"Who are you trying to impress at work?"
"I'm getting carsick!"
"My back hurts!"
"The engine's too loud!"
"I gotta pee!"
"Huuurk! Gag! Barf!"

Of course you can record these precious phrases and burn them on a CD to put in the stereo (on "shuffle" and "repeat" of course!) if you really want to. Driving alone sucks sometimes.
