I love my GPS V. It takes a little while to get use to, but then its all gravy (ghetto slang).

The unit actually will do what you're looking for. You can move the arrow around with the rocker keypad, then hit Find, and look for Points of Interest. From there, you can choose to find the ones that are closest to the cursor. You can have it display all the banks, bakeries, fast food places, ATM's, etc, etc, etc. Of course, you must have uploaded the info from the CD, as the basemap doesn't have all the detailed info.

Also, i'm 90% sure that there is a way to find the closest "whatever" to a waypoint.

As for redrawing the map, it can be slow at times, but i havn't had 20 - 30 sec slow. My biggest complaint is that at times, it gives you the turn too late. Other than that, i'm stolked.

- off to go look for a good deal on NiMH's.
