GPS UPDATE: Reader Frank Brown writes, “Please give an update on your new Garmin GPS. How is it?”

Still fine. (Most impressively, it’s stayed suction-cupped to the windshield the whole time without coming loose once. The old one would barely stay up an hour.) The “traffic” feature works fairly well, though driving home yesterday I noticed that the Interstate was backed up (luckily on the other side) and it didn’t show up on the traffic display. I’m not sure how they gather information or update it, but in general it’s been pretty good.

For those who missed it, I got the Garmin 1390t.
