Programs like PC Miler

I, too, am looking into either PC Miler or CoPilot Truck 9. The web sites don't list alot of differences. I'll be watching this thread with interest!

Thanks!!

 

While PCMiler certianly helps with routing. The basic program will not give you the information you seek, within cities.

Check their website for hardware and software. You'll find exactly what you're looking for. They have a lot of items that make using PCMiler a simplier task. And some of the added features can only be gained through the use of their hardware.

 

I use PC miller for figureing load miles and delorme for the actual trip planning. It is the best i have ever used i used several others but delorme is by far the best for the money that i have used and i allways have a lap top or computer running in the truck and beeing able to drive right to the door of your customer with out a phone call really makes them think this guy has his stuff together.

 

I have delorme Lt-20 it has an external ant you can go to delorme site and pick it up for aprox 70-100 I paid 100 for mine but it was at a office supply store

 

You can get a brand new LT-20 on ebay for around $30 + shipping. Or go to GPSnow & you can find everything you could ever need in GPS hardware or software. If your laptop has bluetooth you should try the i-blue 737......I have one that I use with my Axim and it works GREAT!!

 

I was using DeLorme and it did ok, but also put me into no truck zones way too often. That is why I'm looking at a trucker map program.

 

Look for CoPilot Truck.......It'll do the job right!
