Thanks for the info. The 2 seconds wasn't too bad it Ostia was more accurate then Pocket streets was. Then again I was traveling on familiar roads.
The map disappearing was a major bummer along with relentess dialog. I've been reading some more reviews and I'm starting to lean towards TomTom 5 packaged with it's Bluetooth GPS. That way I can still wardrive with my laptop and the Etrex.
