    Just got the 560 , love the way it detours so far, however I went down a road that was tractor trailer restricted (in a straight truck) and the bells and whistles came on.
    but the unit locked into that mode and wouldn't let me override or give directions anyplace good for support for issues like that ?
    also what does the truck with the purple light mean? that a rode isn't approved ?

    Darn forgot to ask . Anyone figure out if there is a way to keep current time and miles to destination on the nav screen at the same time ( I got spoiled by my Tom Tom)

    Press where it shows your current speed and it'll bring up a dashboard with all that on it.

    I just use PC Miler and CoPilot all it requires is the program(s) (duh) a laptop and a GPS receiver you can find one that is wireless or one that plugs into USB.
