What do you do for a Nav System?

Wow, I wish I lived in a place where the roads were so numerous and full of turns that I could fear getting lost. I have a new Garmin Nuvi 760 Santa brought me that is still in the box.

I get lost in my own house (and it's not that big!).

I can't get lost in Hawaii - no problem there.
In Texas I love just turning onto a road and seeing where it goes. The
roads there are great and even the two laner's have faster speed limits
than you will find in Hawaii so all is good.
Looking forward to returning early July to explore more roads.

Oye vey.

Just to beat you to your next question, for a cupholder, I hold my coffee between my legs.

Magellan 5310 with a "bean bag" mount. Set it on the tunnel. Biggest problem with it is that during the day the glare from the sun can make it difficult to read and it's difficult to hear over the pipes and road noise. I pretty much memorize the directions after the course is plotted. I carry maps, but they can be really difficult to read when driving and who wants to stop to read a map. The whole point of taking the Cobra in the first place is to drive it not sit on the side of the road reading!
