    A friend of mine at driving school brought in his Cobra 7750 PLT to show us. It rocks. Big screen, great features, incredible value. I'd buy it in a heartbeat, just waiting to get on the road.

    thats good and all but hopefully the routing part works just as well.

    He uses it all the time. He drives a LOT with his business in transporting horses intrastate. He told me that it works great for truckers. It gives low overpasses and routes you on truck roads. Like I said, I saw this one, granted in the parking lot while on, but I take his word for it considering he's driven thousands of miles with it.

    I just purchased a TND 720. I also own a Garmin 465T that I intend to swap out with Garmin. I suggest you at least look at/consider the TNDs and 465T/560DZL. How much you spend depends on what you haul and how many features you want. Check out www.dieselboss.com They have a VERY good comparison there.
