		<description><![CDATA[A while back, we bought a Garmin Streetpilot c330 before a long car trip. We&#8217;ve been reasonably happy with the maps in the unit, though my ideal navigation product would include live updates to maps and points of interest when I plugged the unit in to my computer to charge it. 
However, the vehicle mount [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scott recently mentioned Google had a free mobile 411 service. 
Yesterday I tried it out on a couple of local places. You can say &#8220;Map it&#8221; when you get the results, and they send you a text message containing the phone number, address, and a link to the location in Google Maps. This technique seems [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The iPhone is very slick and the available features are intuitive and easy to use. It&#8217;s an awesome, Internet-enabled, media-playing monster monster of a modern telephone. 
Unfortunately, features that aren&#8217;t readily apparent just aren&#8217;t there. For example, Google Maps recently gained the ability to adjust routes for its directions. Do you want to travel from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A list of devices that need their batteries replaced, and I noticed them all within the last week:

Garmin Bike Computer Heart Rate Monitor Strap
Garmin Bike Computer Cadence Sensor
Polar Heart Rate Monitor Watch
Swiss Army &#8216;nice&#8217; watch

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, when the unconscious attention to small details necessary to make a good espresso becomes conscious, the whole process seems ridiculous:
