Torn

Ok, I finally won an ebay auction for a gps mouse at a price I was willing to pay.

Here's the tough part, I am now wondering if I should have gotten a low end (under $150) unit instead. I am going to use this in my Jeep and am second guessing my choice. I want to use it for turn by turn directions and for topo mapping when offroad. I am pretty sure I can do this with either depending on the software I use.....but one can be removed for non-vehichle use.

Any input? Did you go with one and decide you want the other? If so, which was it?

For GPS applications software is FAR more important. Granted the GPS unit needs to last.

You already won the EBay bid. The choice has been made.

I won it cheap enough (fluke from what I've seen) that I could resel it and get my money back easily.

But thank you on the software comment. For starters I have mappoint I'm going to mess with. If I don't like it the search for software can start

You'll see.

You paid over $150 for a GPS mouse on ebay? Is it Bluetooth?
