I do on ipad and like it. Many times it doesn't know the exact address, but the routing has been spot on.
jmroadhog Thanks this. -
Do you drive for Millis?
-
I'll give you 3 guesses who I drive for
-
Lol, I figured..... I was hoping to hear from fellow Millis Drivers. Guess I'll just have to contact the safety depart to see if it's okay to use.
-
I used to use it on my iphone when I worked for Millis. I had a lot of my stops saved in it too. If copilot couldn't find an address I used google and waze to find it then looked for it in copilot. The traffic add on saved me several times. I like that it looked 100 miles out.

Why would you contact safety? And why would they have an issue with you using it?
Unless you're using it with your phone in front of your face or constantly stare at it instead of the road, they don't care. -
This is a post I put up on a different thread. I hope reposting it doesn't violate any forum rules:
I own the Garmin 760 dezl and thus far like it. I've used Garmin products in the past and have found them accurate and reliable. However, one must make sure that common sense prevails. My favorite routing software was Microsoft Streets and Trips running on my ThinkPad linked to an older Garmin GPSIV. Since Microsoft discontinued that software it's become hard to find and expensive when you do.
In addition to the Garmin 760 I recently picked up a Samsung tablet at Walmart, on sale. They had 4 Samsung tablets all which contain GPS chips. I downloaded 4 different apps that all provide offline maps (maps stored on the device).
Maybe it's a little excessive or redundant, but I like having a back up and alternative routing options. Also different software tends to offer different POI's (points of interest ). This is one area where Streets and Trips excelled.
Before I get mobbed, yes I can read a map, road as well as topo. And plot a course on both. But when time is money you spend your time wisely as its a non renewable resource.
