    Prefer the 520 for smaller footprint. Gets me safely to breaks, showers and havens every day. Could be a little more tweakable ( Bluetooth??hint.hint)but it's hand in hand w trucker atlas. Priceless when clock is ticking away.

    Only major issue for me is when you add via points it won't show the whole route. You have to hope it will go the way you want it to go on the next leg when you get there. It seems like it randomly avoids areas for no obvious reason and routes through towns when it could have stayed on the highway 1-2 more exits for a safer route to customers.

    What unit do you have and have you updated recently? It should have the entire route shown now in the map summary screen.

    Yes. Just set your height, empty and loaded weights and width and your off. It also has a hazmat part if you pull that so it keeps you on the hazmat routes. It's all in one section and takes about 30 seconds.

    Version 3.56.2922.1315
    updated about 14 days ago.

    If I add via points I still can't see the whole route in any kind of preview mode. Only the current leg. I should be able to touch the map which pulls it out from following the route to an overview mode with the whole route with all the via points flagged.

    Notice the 1 and 2. Those are 2 different stops with 1 being a fuel stop added via.
