Just because I can’t access Twitter at work… DEAR SLAPPY:

GPS system necessary.
Today’s Amazon Gold Box deal is the Dash Express, which is a GPS system that gets live traffic information from other Dash users in the area. The socially-aware part of it is the cool thing, but it hinges on other people actually using it in your area… shouldn’t be too much trouble in D.C. And it’s only $300, which is pretty damned good for ANY decent GPS unit.
My second suggestion would be any model of Garmin Nuvi 350 and above… we have the 350 back home. It has text-to-speech, so will read street names for you so you don’t even have to look at the screen. And it’s around $250 or less nowadays.
