I didn't want to treadjack the awsome tech in the RTT thread with my ramblings, so....
Since I am here I figured I'll check out the AUTOHOME tents. It apears from their website they have a showroom/factory nearby.

Mantovano is about 2.5hrs from here. I was hoping to have my Nuvi 660 to help me out, but it looks like it'll be Jan before we can order it here for the office.
Navigating around here is not too difficult, but catching businesses open is a pain. They have "reposo" (think siesta) which means they may be closed anywhere around 12-1pm, they may re open later (5-6pm) or not and it may change on different days! A lot of places close at least one day of the week and on weekends. So unless you call and find some who speaks some english (still working on the Italian) it's total crap shoot.
Everything here is "domani, domani" "tomorrow, tomorrow" which really means sometime in the next 3 months
Oh and I have also found that due to some quirks in the Italian economy most exported goods are actually cheaper to buy outside the country! I don't know how they manage that, but it's true!
Oh well, enough of my "ugly american" attitudes
I'll try and get out that way and post up some pics, "domani"
If you have specific questions, concerns about a model let me know and I'll try to get pics/info of that specific area.
