But, I _hate_traffic with a deep burning psychological homicidal passion and in the NYC, NJ & Philadelphia areas, traffic is deplorable.]]>Jan 23rd 2009 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/nuvi-885t-reviewed-speech-recognition-great-detour-function/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/nuvi-885t-reviewed-speech-recognition-great-detour-function/The screen still looks like a cartoon.

MSN wasn't free there either, so I'm not exactly sure which "cheaper" models you guys are talking about. ]]>Jan 23rd 2009 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/nuvi-885t-reviewed-speech-recognition-great-detour-function/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/nuvi-885t-reviewed-speech-recognition-great-detour-function/
