I still have a Garmin GPSMAP76CS and it is hard to beat for the features, but it does indeed have all the problems noted so far to one degree or another.

I purchased one of the 737 BT GPSs (about 1/4 the price I paid for the Garmin used) and it is a stellar little device. FAST and works places where the Garmin just quits.

I tried that map program that came on the n800 and thought it really rather absymal. $150 for it? You have GOT to be kidding.

Was about to decide that I had wasted $50 on the 737 and tried the maemo mapper out of desperation. Sure seems to be a LONG way ahead of the map program (demo) that was included.

Both of them seem to be missing a lot of the features I use on the Garmin though.

Not sure I am going to let the Garmin go anytime soon :-/.
