Thanks Brent.

Well the main use will be to mount it in the car when we go out on a route, then use the GPS and Streets & Trips with it, to go through a route of 20-30 stops in a night. I'd dump the map file into it from the home PC after routing it. So the main issues are reliability, endurance and ease of use. I suppose a single panel tablet might have an advantage that way, over a hinged screen sticking up and bouncing around, but we should probably go look at some in the stores and get an idea. Thanks!
