It's going to sit in the right seater's lap or on the seat if I'm
solo. If I need to look at it, I'll pick it up and "get the flick."

Yeah, I once tried hooking a GPS to a cool moving map program on my
IBM laptop, but it was just too big and clunky, and the screen was
damned near invisible in daylight. The Sony promises to be smaller and
brighter. We'll see.

$49.95. I heard somewhere there may be a plan someday for by-the-trip
billing.
