    Pull into the nearest truck stop and start advertising with that big radio.

    I got the Rand 730 for $359.99 (Bestbuy) price matched Newegg, =) So Far with my Trainer we had his Garmin / Garmen side by side and The Rand has better Options to find a Rest stop and also better options to find ANY POI that are Car or Truck friendly.. Well now the Rand is on the Dash and Garmin is in the box. LOL (( Gopro for Dash cam so far is FAIL!!!)) Looping issue... PM if you want to know more. ttyl

    Co Pilot Truck HD app reviews in the App Store suck quite frankly.

    Snowwy do you have the latest update running on yours with no issues?

    I have an iPad, why bother buying another display if I don't have to.

    Huh? 4 stars out of 5 on Android? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alk.copilot.market.uscanada.truck&hl=en

    4+ rated on Apple - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/copilot-truck-hd-usa-canada/id399782003?mt=8

    Are we looking at the same app store?

    I have the updates on both my phones being uaed. Not my tablet since it's not being used anymore.

    It had quirks. But I unsinstalled the app, plugged phones into pc and deleted the maps. Reinstalled and all is good. Except for california is a real PITA. Doesn't have half thr asdresses I've been to so far. And google hasn't helped much.

    I'm looking at the App Store on my iPad. Your link takes me to the results I posted below.

    When you look at the current version reviews there are only two, one gave 5 stars and the other gave 1 star.
    Take it a step further and look at all versions reviews, there are more 1 star ratings then 5 star ratings.

    How do you come up with a 4 star rating? The most recent 10 reviews have 7 with only one star.
