This thing is driving me nuts!!!
It is not user friendly. Can anyone suggest a model that doesn't require a PHD to operate?

Consumer Reports
The March 2013 edition of Consumer Reports has a one page article evaluating Garmin, Tom Tom, & Magellan GPS models.
Not an earthshaking article but one of interest in comparing various models.

An Odd Scene in Google Maps
GlobeTurtle found this image in Google Maps today. It looks like some sort of police activity involving a stopped big rig truck.
(it takes a couple seconds to load after the empty intersection)
Not something you see every day

Looking for a multi-point routing GPS or App
I've been out of the GPS scene for a year or two, due to the type of work I was doing.
Now have a new job which involves a LOT of driving. I'm a field service tech for restaurant equipment.
So when I get called I'd like to be able to input the next location into the unit/app and it figure out where to go to next. There are sometimes 4 or 5 places in the queue.

Trapster vs. Waze, or Both?
I've been wondering what peoples' experiences have been with Trapster and/or Waze, and the pros/cons of one compared to the other. In my non-scientific "tests", I have found them both to be useful sometimes, and both to be useless sometimes.

Induction
I'm thinking of buying a free standing induction range.
3 times we have left the burner on on our stove. Luckily nothing was on top. The only range i know that turns off by itself is a induction range. Problem is these things are expensive and not a lot of ratings out there, not that many to choose from either. Any one have such an animal?

In-Car Nav System report
Seems that less owners are satisfied with their In-car Nav Systems than before, according to J. D. Powers.
See:

I'll stick with my stand-alone 660, for now.
Best way of routing fastest route real-time? (traffic on my Garmin is useless)
The traffic receiver on my Garmin is horribly stale, or inaccurate. It almost always misses rush hour traffic and if I'm in an area I'm unfamiliar with, the routing to get from point A to point B the fastest way is important.
