You should have told him the weight... that would have really

The Magellan Road Mate 3000T that I got as "reconditioned" has an
alternate display from the usual map that shows your speed,
elevation, and the name of the nearest city. Often, while out on the
road in the middle of nowhere, I'll flip it over to that mode --
usually on a 300 mile Interstate stretch -- just to pass the time...
(it's also interesting to see just how it's ground speed compares to
the speedometer -- which is usually pretty close.)
