I think your key drivers are screen size, weight, and ARCGis. What's your latitude on each of those?
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Waze looks interesting, but it would still tie up my phone for long trips.
there are Garmin (I think) units that you can use with a smartphone. They are a lot cheaper than standalone units. In case this is an option for you.
Would it keep me from using the smart phone while it's attached?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
This TomTom is similar to the one I have, and comes with lifetime traffic and maps (important because otherwise the updates will wind up costing more than the device!)

Do you take a lot of complicated long trips where you need additional directions all the time? You can flip away from Waze, do stuff, and flip back. Normally I'm the queen of separate devices, but as long as I can charge as I go, I am good with the cost savings, since Waze is so consistently able to keep down my commute time.

serial: I know that if you flip over to other apps Waze will keep giving audio directions, as evinced by my confusion during phone calls.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The new MacPros are $3K.
Sure, but they come with a free copy of the OS.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Not named after cats anymore.
I'm sad there never was an OS X Sphynx. Or OS X Hairless Cat.
