There are many here more than willing to help.
But I have to ask. Did you use the search feature to find the many threads on this subject? Most very current.
Mikeeeetruckon Thanks this. -
It really just comes down to personal preference really. Some guys like the Garmin's others like the Rand McNally 530 or 730 series. Both let you route according to hazmat or customize a personal route with waypoints. My company uses the Rand McNally 760, which is e-logs and a GPS all in one.
However with any GPS just let the robot voice play in the background while you keep your eyes on the road signs. -
imho garmin provides bad routing compare to copilot

Thanks for the help I'm gonna check into the garmin 👍 I heard a lot of good things about them

Your brain.
Can't tell you how many times that stupid garmin went into recalucating .....recalculating.....yup still recalculating. .....(you'll see lol just use the trip planner function to save your trip after you've done your detour to get your waypoints back)
Honestly the waze run Google maps are the best for up to date free info.
I only used the GPS for live city driving after doing a Google earth of that route and a backup left left left route "just in case" -
Cobra sucks don't get that one. Horrible to the user.
Garmin will piss you off with the recalculating but is the most user friendly.
Rand McNally has the best trucking model for trucking info but not as user friendly as the garmin.
I've only used these three. Rand McNally had a nice little weather function that the others didn't have but you can just get that from ridley or your phone... -
