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!
