The frustrating thing is, Garmin seems to be moving to a "Moron UI."
That is, removing all the customizable features or limiting them,
eliminating via points and routing that involves more than "take me to
Point X," and there isn't much of a choice.

The new 2720 seems to have fewer options than the 2610. And there's
nothing out there that appeals to someone like me who likes to plan
routes *beforehand* for longer trips with sideroutes, smaller roads,
vias, etc. In fact the big move seems to be to have maps preinstalled
so you can't even plan ahead on the PC.

The Quest has many more customizable features than the 2xxx series.
That's crazy. If it had a larger screen with touchscreen, that would
be a no brainer choice.

Oh well--I guess I'll have to decide between two Bozo machines. The
devices that allow you to make your own choices and aren't dumbed-down
are all 2x more money than the 2610 or c330....
