The reason why I'm bothering to write this at all right now is because I'm interested in some opinions. As far as I can tell so far, Garmin has the only on-board GPS software solution available for the 8800. What I mean is that Garmin's program is available on a MicroSD chip, so that no Internet connection is required, and there is no latency associated with this product. At least, that's my hope! Can anyone comment on experiences you might have with the microSD-based solution from Garmin?
