Gps Saves more Fuel than Hybrids??
I have a theory, unproven but I think it is true. I know how many times I have driven out of the way a bit to find someplace...and I know there are way more GPS units being sold that hybrids....so I am saying I think GPS saves more fuel in the Big picture than the Hybrids.

A Nuvi battery question...
Hi All,
The battery in my Nuvi 880 is a removable, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, with a battery life up to 4 hours. The problem I’m experiencing is that the battery, after a full charge, is draining while not in use.

Rest Areas
I thought the poi alerts for rest areas told you whether the rest area had restrooms. When I was driving this past week on major roads, I didn't see anything that told me that. Was I mistaken, or is there something I didn't load right?
thanks

New to this thing
I am so used to using a loran back when i was boating. Now i recently (10 Months) bought a motorhome and a Garmin 550. I sure do like the fact that it gets you there but the only complaint is some of the routes it takes you are pretty tight for a 42 ft. Hope to get better
