GPS Updates

[lbc]

· I just upgraded my HP PDA with their new GPS software for list price of $99.95. This little device does a better job than the Mercedes GPS which I have in my 2006 ML. Now when MB wants $299 for updated software why can’t they provide the purchaser with information similar to the info below that HP gave me?? The data runs together on the percentages at the bottom, but you get the idea.
