    I already stated CoPilot is the exception. Never used the Smart Truck route app, so I can not comment one way or the other on that.

    I said.. and read carefully please... Garmin... RandMcNally... and Cobra.... those are the 3 primary Truck specific GPS selling in the truck stops now... they all route similar... not exactly.. and as stated.. the main difference will be in last mile (local) routing.

    So anyone looking for on can buy any that I mentioned and do just fine. They need to find one they feel most comfortable using. One that has features suited to their specific needs.

    I use Garmin for personal preference. Its the best for 'ME'. Your experience may vary.

    I have to agree about the way Garmin calculates eta. It seems to use the posted speed limits.. which Garmin is often incorrect in many areas.. I am constantly manually setting incorrect speed limits.

    The new 570/770 has many more speed limits in areas my previous 465T did not. Granted, just got it the other day & only have a couple hundred miles with it.
