I have a Magellan Maestro 4050 GPS which works fine in virtually all vehicles that I have tried to use it in. Recently, however, when renting a car (a 2010 Chevy Impala), I found that the cord, when plugged into either of the several outlets on the car, did not conduct power to the GPS. The GPS turned on, and, after a minute or two, gave me a warning that it did not have power, and then shut...

I guess my timing was right: with the introduction of the Apple iPad

I see in a local add that Bushnell has a hand-held GPSR that _claims_ to be able to use "Satellite Photography". Does this mean that I can use maps from Google maps or other download maps? My biggest complaint with my Garmin 76Cx is the limited up-to-date maps. Have any of you tried one of these units? Ted
