I just have a humble little unhacked Mio C320 but was pleased to discover
an unexpected benefit while driving some twisty Appalachian mountain
roads at night in the fog.  I usually have it rigged HUD-style (more or
less the view out-the-windshield) and it was a big help as we felt our
way along to know that, say, a gentle right right turn was coming up
followed by a *sharp* left, etc.  So it was not only useful telling us
where we were in absolute terms but also for, um, "terrain avoidance"...
