A guy I know services Telstra comms pits. He has a daily route each day.
He has them all programmed into his navigator as POIs. So, when Route 66
is on the schedule for tomorrow he loads it up. And in the morning it
programs the quickest route to go from pit to pit.
The initial setup took him a while, but now it's set and forget.
It depends on your cir***stances, too, I s'pose. I could get away with a
Melways too, but the gadget factor makes it a bit less of a chore when you
have to deal with the craziness that is city traffic.
It does let you down when roads are changed, or if the data was wrong to
begin with and it sends you all over the place.
The Mio C510 isn't that flash a navigator. We had a Tom Tom One which was
far superior but it got stolen. I got the Mio through work and it has
bluetooth which I thought would be handy for the phone hands free. But it
works crappily and only with my wife's phone.
Next nav will be the Tom Tom Go XL. 4.3" widescreen, BT, spoken street
names.
