yup, the future linked with Nuvis and Garmin in particular isn't heading towards a promising one for road navigation.
I recently added another lifetime map payment and was planning for the 3rd as the last on this dependence with Garmin. Looks like I'll be making space for the three units as "collectors" items over 20, 30 years from now...LoL
My next unit is the Samsung Galaxy Tab with a nice screen size and providing 3G which is great for browsing on the roads.

This may also replace my current TomTom too... as TomTom isn't doing well and their shares on the market are neither being encouraging however, we'll see just how long my TT 950 GO Live will help me cruise the roads.
