Anyone have one of these yet and want to comment? I just ordered one today, but I wasn't even sure if they had it in stock yet. I thought about going with a cheapo GPS attached to a laptop, but I figured that would be too cumbersome for normal use. I really like the on-the-fly route-mapping combined with the small size, portability and the fact you can you use horizontall or vertically.

Haha, I'm going to answer my own post. I had a chance to use the GPS V in CA this weekend for some city driving. It worked pretty well. Screen is big enough to see when mounted on the dash. I love the on-the-fly routing...it even automatically re-routes if you get off route. With 19 megs, it can hold 4-5 map sections. I had Seattle, Tacoma, Anaheim and 2 other CA sections loaded and still had a couple of megs to spare. So, so far...thumbs up!
