Well, bought a TomTom yesterday, installed it, updated it, and used it for the first time today.
If had incorrect routing for the very first address I tried to navigate to, a Loves in Kentucky that I stopped at for fuel. That Loves has been there for years, but they don't have the location right?
I uninstalled the TomTom after lunch, and reinstalled the Rand. I'd rather have an accurate, incomplete map, than a complete, inaccurate map.
Standalone Truck GPS units that are NOT Rand McNally?

My garmin Dezl that’s 2 years old and it’s lifetime update and weather is about 99.9% spot on.
I check for updates once a week.PE_T, Timin770 and Farmerbob1 Thank this. -
So it's ether Garmin or randy mcnally.
I have had a chance to use copilot while I was training with Rohel.. it was so unreliable that it's nickname was dips**it. It would almost never use proper routing, if it didn't just straight up give on on working.Farmerbob1 Thanks this. -
What model TomTom?
Farmerbob1 Thanks this. -
Try Garmin, you get used to a R Mc or a Garmin and that little screen don't cut it, some people like the trucker path, the Hammer is not bad , but it doesn't like my Alternate routes. Google let's me put the coordinates in, and will route to it
Farmerbob1 Thanks this. -
One other thing about Garmin or R M is it displayed the speed limit
Farmerbob1 Thanks this. -

Google with the Atlas, use a smart phone, make adjustments on the fly. I never use CoPilot on the truck anymore, outdated software. The smart phone serves in many capacities at the same time. Phone, music via Bluetooth, headset thru Truck.

Very seldom needed the atlas.
I tried rand for 2 weeks and traded for copilot. It was pcmiler at that time.nredfor88 and Farmerbob1 Thank this.
