___________ VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--Among the many gadgets I've been traveling with on my Road Trip around the pacific northwest is a Magellan Roadmate 3000T car navigation system. And I must say, after now being on the road for eight days and using the device quite a bit, it really does work. I have found myself plugging in destinations constantly, especially when I'm trying to get somewhere in a hurry. And except for a few times when the machine simply seems to freak out and duck for cover--basically refusing to tell me anything useful--it has flawlessly directed me to where I've been trying to get, again and again.
