After a year of waiting & tons of research, I finally bought a new gps, t5e. My biggest holdup was having had a WorldNav that I absolutely hated & replaced in less than a month.

So far I have few complaints with the TND. I updated it (278 updates!) the day after I got it & like some of the new features that were added.
The only issues I've had, so far, are it getting confused (could be me) & not showing truck POIs consistently.

Right now I'm in Tamarac, FL & was organizing the address book into groups, since then, although it is routing from here & the map correctly shows my location, the "county/city" bar shows I'm in Minneapolis?? ODD!

Thank you, Mark, for all of your typing! I have read every page & really appreciate having some idea of what may happen & how to deal with it!!

Just wanted to say that after reading all 127 pages of this thread over the past few days, I decided to take the plunge and buy a T7E. I'm in dutch with our safety department over two 80+mph readings I incurred out west over the past year so I'm hoping that neat feature where it warns you if you are going x MPH over the speed limit might help me stay out of trouble

The TND Dock installed flawlessly (I'm on a low end Toshiba Satellite computer) as did the updates. Before doing any updates though, I *did* perform a FULL backup (just in case you wondered if any of your advice is getting through to folks Mark..)

I've played with it a little and it seems fairly easy to navigate around the menus and screens. The graphics look great (I'm torn between the rocket truck and the tank though! )

Will let you all know how it works out

Only you would drive a 62 mph truck

 

I-15 south Nevada from the Arizona border to California it has a truck speed of 55, posted speed is all 75 except thru the Vegas area
then when you cross into California it has a speed of 70mph for the first 40 miles...

 

I feel it should be added Mark. I want to "Pull the trigger" and buy one, but it seems too early in the process. The little man on my shoulder keeps saying "wait a while longer".......
