I'll have to check into that.  I used to have one, the old hiker's version.
Today they have a similar model with major roads showing, but no mapping
capability.

You said, "old", do you know if current versions have it?

I have considered getting a loop for the car, but decided not to complicate
matters any more than necessary.  I already have wierdos following me and
asking me if I am space shuttle command or if I know their interstellar
friends.  I know why some hams have "Not CB" on their cars now.

Thanks for the info.
