4srs. I always found it a bit kludgey, even when new. Most of its most useful functionality (where the cops at bro?) has been built into Waze and other apps in a far more usable way now, anyway, and now Google's pulling in Waze reports, too.

*For Sale: Is car. $10,000

"Expect to do at least 80 to keep up with traffic and still get passed on the right occasionally." "Even as I went 85, it didn't stop a 300C and a big truck behind it from getting right up on my bumper until I moved to the right and let them pass at more than 90. "
