If you don't want to do this, go to the on-line sites, get the addresses for
the show, program them into your GPS BEFORE you head to Tucson and you're good
to go. I've done that and it sure saves time going to shows that you've never
been to before.
And, risking the wrath of the list, I, too, program in the address for
restaurants that I want to visit. This really saves time at night!

Hi John,
Yep, that's a perfectly viable way to enter locations. There are a number of
ways to do this. By loading the POIs I've cited you'll have several hundred
locations loaded to your unit in just a few minutes.
I agree about finding good restaurants too. If you explore that POI-Factory
website you'll find dozens if not hundreds of poi files for restaurants
containing thousands of locations. I heartily recommend the restaurants in the
"Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives" files. For those unfamiliar with the program of the
same name on the Food Network here in the States, they highlight mom & pop
places with funky atmosphere's and toe curlingly great food. (Personal experiences)
I got my first consumer automotive GPS unit a few years ago when I started
photographing real estate. Today I couldn't imagine traveling without it. They
are awesome when you are in unfamiliar territory.
Cheers
Richard
