Missing from the user's manual:

LAST POSITION FEATURE
The 'Last Position' feature only works if you remove the unit from the cradle while the unit is turned on, AND the car is running. It must detect that it has been removed from cradle power to store a position.

If you turn off your car first, Last Position will not store even if the unit is still turned on when you remove it from the cradle.

Also, the Last Position is stored in the Favorites; not in the Recently Found list as described on several website reviews of the unit.

MUSIC PLAYER
Although the unit will handle 16GB SDHC cards full of music files, the larger cards cause a significant delay before the music starts when you start your car - close to two minutes. If you want your music to start sooner after you start your car, you should use cards of 4GB or less.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
