    I concur with the previous two statements (posts). My reply was a broad one. As a former Army driver, and logger, nothing beats a current 'back road' map book by province or state, or best yet, a recent survey map of your area ..... because that's pretty much a shoe in for hard pack or muck. I still will not trust an electronic device that plays it's info in real time. I'd rather have a peice of paper beside me.

    Who ? Me ? I'd need an I-Phone first. I still have an 'ol fashioned' cell phone. Matter of fact, it's so big and old, it came with it's own booth.

    was directed at northboundhound. Not sure what oiltrax is like but landtracker/maps is all I use.

    Same thing but using Oiltrax you don't have to convert from LSD to lat/long, just pump in the LSD format and off you go. Same technology, basically.

    Worth the $$$ already; got me out of a potential mess running a tri drive/tri axle 110,000lb bulker.

    Noobs should get either app - it will save your hass for sure.

    I am a big fan of CoPilot Truck. Does TDG routing pretty well and is a really good compliment to OilTrax on my iPhone and iPad.

    Too many tea bags? Fresh or used? I know its getting harder to carry mine around these days.

    Not to share Too Much Information? Yeah, they're used.

    Time for a Timmy-Break. Get fresh ones.
