I found out something really cool the other day I never noticed before! I 
was on Garmin's website and was checking out the demo of the Mapsource 
MetroGuide. On the demo, you can click and zoom in to see the detail all the 
way down to street level and such. It lets you see the software before you 
buy it. Well, naturally, I zoomed in on Mesa, Arizona and then down to 
street level to zoom in on my neighborhood. I wanted to see if all my 
streets were on there. Well, not only where the streets on there... but 
right at my address was a symbol and next to it:  'Roping The Wind Hot Air 
Blln'.  Cool!!! Now I dont have to tell anyone the coordinates to my house 
anymore! They can just search for me in their GPS! :) LOL
