sorry just seems like i've read 1,000,000xxxx threads lately about the whole "best rom" issue.

fact of the matter is no rom is the best for two different people.
additionally I got a little confused reading the thread and mixed up you and another user. i been traveling for 3 weeks now and i'm not too sure where my head is at. I think I left it back in the utah desert :X

anyway.
like I said, vin's non-cht rom has been serving this road warrior very well. I burn through 2 batteries a day with heavy use including full time auto-navigation to near constant gps tracking/logging/sport stats to making dinner and hotel reservations in each town. highly reccomended.
