He could drive that stash of empties to Michigan and get some serious $$$ for them ;) Maybe a bit far from him but something I've considered until I saw the tedious manual process of returning empties at most grocery stores (my brother says some stores won't accept the item if they don't sell it).

What a tough crowd! I'm not saying you guys don't know how I think but it just stings a little. ;D My daughter is graduating from BMT in San Antonio middle of next month and the trip there is must do so it might take me a while to pull the trigger. ;D While $700 for a GPS makes me light headed keep the suggestions coming. KISS is my motto however. ::)
PS - American Pickers has called me about my stash of vintage 2720/30 with cables and mounts. I promise to drink some keystones with them.

PSS - it is true that the RF 1200 helmet I just bought was a mint "slightly used" one. Guy used it less than 500 miles and sold his street bike. I saved right a $200 What can i say I love a good deal.

I would start your selection process by visiting the Garmin website and comparing features, then shop for pricing. -JEP-

Here is what Garmin said. I know this isn't right
Hello Bill,
I'll be happy to help you with this.
None of our units have a option to avoid or take curvy roads to get to a destination. The units do have Advanced detour options to avoid curtain roads for a route the unit has calculated. Also you can create routes in a program called BaseCamp and transfer the route to devices.

That must have come from a rookie customer service rep. The curvy road option has been around for at least a couple of years now, and maybe more.

May have been a rookie but even a rookie CS rep should be fully trained on the features of any device he's paid to support!
