What gps do yall recommend

Garmin Dezl 580

 

Google maps and that Road Atlas is a great combination. Just remember, no GPS device/app is perfect. Use your eyes and common sense, 1st, device 2nd.

 

And like I told 2 guys I work with that rely solely on GPS, its just one tool in your navigation toolbox.

 

How about... THE HAMMER!

 

Yup!

Before planting trucks in the sand - there was paper atlases.

 

I have a Dezl 780 - but it’s a dashboard ornament.

Rely on the paper. Trust me.

 

One that works as long as you don't follow it mindlessly.

 

Why do you say that? I have an old dezl 580 lmts. Her name is Didi. She neurotic and going senile but she's still helpful. My company Copilot usually agrees with her, if not I have to pick one, but I like having options.
Didi can plan for lower miles or faster drive time, and she's pretty accurate on arrival time. So I was thinking of getting the 785 before she goes totally offline...
Plus I really appreciate her lane advice at major interchanges....

 

Shoot my Rand McNally’s now looks at the speed I came into the tunnel and approximates where I’m at lol. Still it’s routing is pretty #### I mainly use it just to calculate distance quicker.

 

You mean this stuff did not happen with the road atlas?

 

I've done some stuff like that in my car, out in the country where I live.. and no maps are ever involved LoL. trying to detour around an accident or fire or bridge out....but my little chevette/Datsun whatever beater dujour I'm driving is easy to turn around.
