I will also have all the addresses if people would like to use GPS or OnStar. I know I will have my Garmin hooked up!

We should be able to send the coordinates to the C5s via map-quest or google or whoever OnStar contracted with. Isn't it map-quest and you can just send all of them to the car?

I have 4 or 6 motorola radios/walkie-talkie's. we can pass out.

I think the MapQuest points to OnStar (eNav & Virtual Advisor) only works if you have minutes on your OnStar plan (I don't) as well as the turn-by-turn nav which probably most will still have in April. I'm sure Jason will have directions worked up for us.

I think radios/walkie-talkies would be a good idea.

I will have very detailed directions. No worries. Plus its only one road... I75 south.
