I rather like my A780. The bluetooth stack isn't fantastic on it, and I
think the linux stack has moved on quite a bit since it was written, but
the GPS capability is really useful. Co-pilot is not bad GPS software,
although it's not quite so mature and flexible as the TomTom is.
My only issue with TomTom is that they seem to be moving towards a
windows-only and mac-only support model, which is a bit irritating
considering that the device is linux.
