The Garmin is driving my husband crazy!  

We have one too..tell your husband they are getting so cheap that no one cares about stealing them anymore. Just throw it in the glove compartment. My husband has left his right on the window turned on and we have gone to eat and shop and no problem.

But my husband drives me nuts in a different way..he takes it with him where ever he goes...he takes it to work 3 1/2 miles away. He drives around parking ramps to confuse it. He can't leave the house without setting up the garmin, the radar detector, the fm transmitter on the Ipod. It takes 5 minutes before he can pull out of the driveway...he just loves gadgets.
Bt if it is the worse thing he does -- no problem.

I have a Magellean locator. I dont like it tha much. It is helpful when I need it but othewise I just let it sit there. My husband likes his on all the time but I think it is just something that I dont really need and can be confusing at times.

Uh, yea! Doesn't that make you mad? You tell someone to do "X" then they do "Z" because they think it's better. However by doing "X" it follows the rules/manual/logic...then they try "A", "B", "Z" and lots of other things. Then they realize they should have done "X" all along. HAHAHAHAHAH

Kind of like "I told you so!" Hehehehe. That's why they put the suction cups on the thing, you know?

Haha... that is too funny. We have one too and I remember reading recently that the GPS's are the number one stolen thing out of cars. So, I can understand your husband's concern. With ours, we stick it in the glove box or center console whenever we are out somewhere (like a restaurant). When we are at home, we bring it inside with us. We do leave the suction cup up there.

We have found our GPS very useful. We have used it several times when visiting other states, and frankly, it's made our trips so much more relaxing. It's nice when you have to run to the grocery in a state you don't know and you can just punch it in and it finds it and takes you there.

I did have a suction cup issue of my own though when I borrowed it and wanted to use it in my car. I had the hardest time getting that darn suction cup to stick. I tried wetting it, cleaning my window, cursing it out. Then I gave up and tried what your husband did, prop it up somewhere. But, as soon as I took my first turn it went flying. GRRRR! So I went back to trying to put that stupid cup back on the window and finally it stuck there. Why is it they make the gizmos so easy to use, but the accessories are a pain in the @#%^!@!

Surely you know you can't tell most men anything. They have to figure it out for themselves.

LOL, I know your pain. Us women, wifes or what ever we are do not know a thing. heehee
Yes I have one of those. What I do is wait till we go home and when he is not in the car I would put the suction cup holder in place and then just tell him to use it MY WAY for a while. Guess what he usually likes it. WoW I do know something.
