" LAS VEGAS \u2014 It&amp;#039;s an age of adjustment for old-line services such as the American Automobile Association (AAA). Remember the paper TripTiks your dad used to get before car trips? You can do all that online now at AAA.com, but then again, you could just use MapQuest or Google Maps like the rest of the world.  Now AAA members can buy Magellan&amp;#039;s new RoadMate AAA Edition RS2.0 and maybe feel better about their membership fee, even when they&amp;#039;re not calling the 800 number for a tow truck. The in-car GPS unit does all the regular GPS stuff, but also includes the data from AAA Tourbooks. In addition to simple restaurant and hotel listings, it give the AAA rating and summary information, and clues you in to AAA discounts.  Magellan is also doing something that always seemed obvious, but hasn&amp;#039;t been done before (as far as we know): Making a GPS unit that does double duty as a car-navigation device and a backcountry handheld unit. In the car, the $550 CrossoverGPS gives voice directions, POIs, etc. On a hike, it provides topo maps, tracks waypoints, and performs the other standard outdoorsy functions for up to 8 hours on a charge. There&amp;#039;s a marine function, too. (The company&amp;#039;s $500 RoadMate 2200T just does the automotive tasks, but is transformed into the Crossover model if you buy at $50 upgrade.) \u2014Jerry Beilinson  Magellan CrossoverGPS "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
