Trucker's Atlas, Headsets, etc recommendations?

I'm gonna go against the forum here probably.

I find my atlas is incorrect pretty often, mainly on smaller roads, and dealing with weight restrictions and length limits. But here is the one I have.

 

Rand McNally atlas, as far as Bluetooth, I had one that clipped over my ear, and it hurt to wear it for more than a short period of time. Blue Parrot fits over a ball cap

 

To further the discussion. I use google maps street view more than anything anymore. You can usually find signs that show route restrictions within a 1/4 mile of the turn, right in the turn, or right after.

That has saved me an embarrasing backup or turn around several times.

 

I don’t wear mine all the time… probably should, but can’t stand to have it on for more than an hour or two before I lay it on the passenger seat. Usually until I get a phone call…

 

This. The atlas is great for what it is. But maps and street view are life savers especially satalite view.

This is the one im guilty of lol. I love audio books and generally dont like associateing with drivers outside of restraunts or such and even there id rather listen to a book. So i usually have SOMETHING playing. Though while driving i tend to play through my radio.

 

We dont. We hang them on the brake knobs or johnson bar if you got one. Only wear it when a call comes through. Have used parrott for 15 years.

 

The BlueParrot B550 has been doing right by me so far. I usually get a full shift's worth of usage out of it before it gives me the low battery alert. It works well with the Google Assistant on your mobile device, so you can: send/read text message via voice command, open Google Play Books & Audiobooks via voice command, ask the headset to play a specific song on YouTube or YouTube music; etc.



I'd also recommend that you invest in a Rand McNally Overdrive tablet for more accurate real-time Navigation.
