$100 is not the full cost

Note that it is $100 with no maps... Maps range from $40 to $70 additional, so the miminum usable configuration would be $140.

Also the maps appear (although I cant tell since the "demo" version only has Santa Fe, NM) that there is little or no route planning or database of attractions such as fuel stations and whatnot..

The app looks nice, but not worth the cost IMO.

We need something like MS Streets or DeLorme Street Atlas on the mac....
