    Well, I'm not so much worried about getting around, as much as I am worried about finding the places I want to find. Both the wife and I are way into Japanese Otoku subculture, and there are all sorts of shops and stuff I know we will want to find, and I have read that a lot of the stores are tough to locate since they might be on the 11th floor of some building that is all marked in Kanjii and I can't read a lick so....the GPS idea would be sweet, if I could find a map of Tokyo with streets and stuff in English and Japanese...

    PS - We are not THIS nerdy though...

    Ain't no reason to complain about cute girls doing the cosplay thing. But it should be a sport with minimum entry requirements.

    As for maps around Tokyo, I don't know if anything specific, but I'm betting it is probably the most electronically mapped city in the world. I know that years before Google started doing these street-view things, the GPS units in the cars over there already had 3D man-on-the-street perspective. I suspect the hard part will be finding an anglo version of the software.

    I have this. A very good deal for On
    Road GPS.

    www.usglobalsat.com/PS37 for a very limited time.
    Good company to deal with.

    Re-routing, Millions of POI's, 3D Bird's Eye view, etc,... I am able to to find the closest golf course within 25 miles in alphbetical order, in a city in WI! Or the closest Thai food Resturant in a city in El Paso Texas, Or the closest emergency medical services facilities on your trip, etc,....

    In anycase, USGlobalSat, Inc. offers the GV370 unit current at $359.99, discounted from MSRP$499.99! -

    That's an OK deal, but we are also offering a special hidden page for the GV370 units @$199.99 + S/H & you get a free Protective Pouch for free just for finding this page that we only print advertised to our Local Community in Southern California.

    Now I will extend this offer to my beloved MacMap Group.
    Here's the link, the rest should be pretty straight forward:
    www.usglobalsat.com/PS370

    BTW: Please enjoy the Limited Time Special Discount; of course this offer is good for anyone who may find this hidden page or is passed along this deal...

    Offer only good for next 2 weeks and will be take down before the search engines will indexz the page.

    Be well,
    Larry Liang

    Hey, I'm not complaining, just saying I'm not quite that nerdy. But then again, I did dress up as Cobra Commander for Halloween a few years back Cosplay is great, it just kills me when you have like 35 year old men dressing up as Sailor Moon. THAT is good stuff, my friend.
