chhotiiI don't know if this was the most rational decision, but I was overcome with gadget lust. So I ordered the afore-mentioned Garmin iQue 3600.
Read many on-line reviews-- apparently, it is not perfect, but on the other hand, you can use the Palm OS Address Book app to specify an address to navigate to. That just presses too many of my wow-that's-cool buttons at once.
I've probably blown my budget for electronics gear, but OTOH this delays my having to get another Palm Pilot if the one I have dies. I get use the Gamin as a replacement, if need be. Not going to use it as the primary Palm until that happens, though. The Garmin has poor battery life (not a concern as a navigation frob-- I got the car charger too) and is probably more fragile than the indestructible Palm Vx. But, good enough as a stopgap.
Toy!!!!!!!!!!
