Steve asks:
"what is the best GPS unit for use in a car, and for working with a mac
please?"

Steve,
I don't know the best one for the Mac, but for me the best one for a car is
the Tom Tom 1, the simplest and just about the cheapest. It performs all the
basic functions, shows distance and direction to turns, has both a speed
indication and calculates the time to the destination, and has a good voice
output (if you don't mind taking directions form a lady). You can find a
refurbished unit on the market from Geeks.com or TigerDirect.com for about
$50. True, it doesn't show pictures or play MP3s. That's what an iPod or
iPhone is for. But the Tom Tom has never steered me wrong.
