I just got my Garmin Nuvi 760 in today (Wednesday) and have been playing with it all night. I drove my wife nuts walking around our house and watching it time me. I clocked a whopping 3.4 mph from my home-office to the kitchen.

She sent me out for KFC (too cold, snowing, so I didn't take the Ultra) and I used the GPS just for grins.

I haven't purchased the mount yet, but I'm leaning toward the Ram-Mount. I didn't see the waterproof model ... I guess I'll have to do some more shopping.

Now I have to figure out how to load the custom POIs from places like POI-Factory. They have the HD dealers in both the csv and gpx format, if I only knew what that meant.
