Cobra Electronics 7700 PRO GPS

The truck features alone are worth it, very specific to the truck you are driving the other gps's dont even offer much on that.

I've encountered several red light light warnings, speed trap warnings, accident area inter sections, very cool.

it does how ever have the little quirkyth9ings that all gps units have. Sometimes I just font get it. Just last night it routed my off of I-5 through central point, OR, only to have me return back to I-5 Pilot I was looking for two exits down. I was not happy.

But overall, i am very pleased with the Cobra.

I do find it funny it refuses to route me to one of our comapny terminals in Salt Lake the area has four big carriers and two dealerships. The street widths are enormous. I jusr change my truck profile to bobtail and it gets me there.

 

Thanks for the reply and the fix. Will this be available on the internet or will I have to order the DVD when it is released?

 

I don't quite understand this one. I'll try it again next tim I am in the area and see what comes up. On two occassions it has told me to go these routes. What about the New Westminster Columbia Street route? If you're heading east or west on Columbia Street the route should turn you onto Front Street and eventually back onto Columbia Street to avoid a truck restricted route on Columbia for approx 3 kilometers. This is a very heavily used truck route in and out of Vancouver and could cause a problem for anyone not familiar with this deviation.

Is there also a possible fix in the works for all the unnecessary side road warnings along a designated route.

Thanks again for the help.

 

What? doesnt everyone have high speed internet by now, 2 gig file isnt that big. I Dl'd the Garmin update which was also a 2 gig file over my cell phone, it did take 5 hours but it wasnt a big deal. I wish you would make this available for download. I ordered the disk and so far I have not received it and I go back out tomorrow (that was a week ago (7 days)

Personally, I think Travel centers/Truck stops and CAT Scales should have there own "POI" designation not lumped in with the other POI's - which are somewhat useless because you can't drive your truck to most of them anyways. Its just silly.

Also when you see a POI icon on the screen shouldnt you be able to touch that POI and get that specific info? I think mines broke or something.....

WHat about a picture viewer app? Wouldnt this be a great way to promote the 7700, I have yet to meet a driver who doesnt take pictures be kinda nice to drag the 7700 in to the diner and show your friends some of the things youve seen, both good and bad. I'm sure it would be talked about....
