What's the brand/model of the GPS that gives you AAA Travel Guide 
listings?  I have a Garmin Nuvi 350 which my son gave me as a gift.  He 
paid $302 for it from Amazon about 1-1/2 years ago.  I'd never have paid 
that much.  It has numerous entries for restaurants and hotels but I 
have to cross-reference the AAA travel guides in book form which can be 
tedious (although worth it in the end).

We need a CHDK equivalent for GPS units that can customize the firmware 
to include tracklogs.  :-)
