I have the auto kit with my 296 and I like it. The memory is not big
enough to include more than about one state of detailed maps. The

The auto map tends to route you thorough some odd ways sometimes while
you could just stay on the interstate. Make sure you get a late
version of the operating system as the early versions crashed if you
went though 40 MPH to many times. The auto kit includes a bitching
Betty that will tell you where you can go!


You can adjust the routing preference more toward highways or toward
off-highways. If I remember correctly, there is a slider-bar
preference, at least on my 396. I think that it was rather buried in
the preference tabs somewhere, though, so you have to look for it.
