(And yes, I’m aware that it’s possible to come up with examples of such use, like sharing of trip routes or route planning on the computer, but I’ve never felt any desire for such things.) The attraction of the class of devices I’ve been reviewing is that they provide a simple-to-use and complete package, with all the maps you generally need stored internally, and with nearly everything the device can do accessible from its own touch-screen interface.
