    I have the Garmin DEZL. You can read my review thread here: http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...n/253735-after-a-year-garmin-dezl-560lmt.html

    IF, and only IF, you are running strictly interstates, it will serve you pretty well. When you exit off the superslab, you can't trust it.


    My last comment in my review thread pretty well sums it up:

    Thats pretty much what I found with the garmin. so I bought the rand, not any better. WAY over priced for an inferior gps.

    I hear ya, but I've had Garmin since GPS'S came out n had gf's that had brand X n they don't compare to the Garmin, however when I went for the " Truck" GPS I didn't expect miracles, I kinda figured that they could do the basic n that would probably be it n guess what I was right lol So I agree with you, but I still prefer Garmin over anything else. ( just wish they told ya if the coop was open) :)

    the app doesn't work. it relies on human input. to which most times. it's a game and it's wrong.

    BTW. samsung note 2, asus 10 inch tablet. copilot gps. THAT'S the best.

    truckers tablet with igo i hear is also pretty good.

    sygic is coming around. and is a really nice software. it has actuall mountains and cities, not just a colored line.
