Default Re: GPS - What's your recommendation?

A nice Ontario trooper pulled me over and the first thing he said was "Give me your radar detector". After that, he was kind enough to write me a ticket for $170.00 bucks, payable via Email, of course, along with a $2.50 handling fee.
CONCERNING YOUR GPS: Nextar supplies most of the GPS mnftr's their maps and for that reason, I chose NEXTAR. I now have one of their 3-1/2" versions and two of their 4.3" versions and have just purchased their new Snap-5, 5" version. They are simple to operate and do everything I expect them to do.
FYI, my father was born in QC of Loyalist stock, and I have been thinking of building a house on some land we still own up there. Cheers.
I hope you did not pay the $170, and you should have dropped the radar detector real hard or smashed it.
I am all for law and order but we are becoming a police state and I don't like it one bit.
Enforce road safety and catch criminals, yes, but we are having our rights eroded bit by bit and that just isn't right.
