Your comments: I still have no idea why someone would choose this over something like the Fujitsu Siemens n560:

From what I can tell, the 560 does alomst everything the nuvi does, and is is less expensive, smaller, has a full VGA screen (OK... A smidge smaller), Wifi, plays almost any media (movies, MP3s etc), runs Windows Mobile 5, so it runs thousands of applications, and lots else.
You have your choice of GPS software packages from about five or six companies, and aren't locked
into any one for the life of the unit.
About the only thing it doesn't have is the traffic receiver capabilities, but by the time they're available in more cities, I'm sure an add-on will be available.
Too bad it's not really sold in the US, but is easily available through several outfits in
the US and Europe (who ship it here).

You mention about five or six GPS software providers for N560. Could you please tell me what companies are you talking about? I travel around Europe and Africa and would be interested in having a software that would allow me access to some useful maps.
Thanks
