GPS COBRA OR Rand Mcnally

i would say rand mcnally 700

 

I don't know, but from the posts I've been reading I would say the Cobra.

Okay drivers lets here you voice. Who makes the better GPS?

 

im curious about this as well. im looking to purchase one in the next few months

 

What I want from a GPS is.
Fast response time.
Truck routes 98% or better.
Low bridges always
Accurate address always
Accurate lanes and exits always
Free map updates, for $500 I hope the next 2 years would be free.

If they get the rest right 80% of the time it would be okay with me.

 

GARMIN,why pay for the name brand tag?
I run a 255W thats never been updated since new,gets me around jes'fine

 

want it to sign your check too ?

 

I wouldn't give up my Rand for a box of Cobras.

Beer Runner, my best guess from "what you have been reading" is a very active Rand thread. Lots of interest lots of input, lots of folks running these units. Cobra on the other hand, much less activity, very little reading, and much less interest...

I know its hard to disseminate issues from non issues when reading about these units on this board, but most of the negatives you've read are really non issues regarding the Rand, that and the fact many of them are self induced by the user.

Either way, you're going to get a huge step up from a basic auto unit. Enjoy.

 

Look I have had a Magellan Maestro 3250 for over 3 years now and never updated the thing yet. It works fine just the way it is. I payed $150 for it and can't complain about it. But it's made for a car not a truck. Now if I have to pay $500 for a truck GPS I want it to work right. I don't want it acting like a car GPS. I want it do what I need it to do, and take some of the work from my hands. All I want to know is which is the better one of the 2. That's it. I recommend the Magellan to anyone driving a car, it will never get you lost. Excellent product.

 

Thank you for your advice.
