    I am sorry you had such a bad experience.

    To give everyone the chance to "see" what the unit can do before they buy, I asked DieselBoss to act as a 3rd party in testing for this forum. I am a Beta Tester for RM, but he is a dealer (no ties to RM).

    www.dieselboss.com

    I am eagerly awaiting his results from the past few days of his testing. Good or Bad. Good,,then this is great... bad,, then I have to see what he did not like or did not work as promised and get the issues corrected.

    RM is very receptive to my "bugs". I have been testing this unit for over 10 months and even I am impressed with what RM has put together.

    I live around the Charlotte, NC area and if you are in the area around 100 miles from Charlotte contact me and I will make every effort to come to you to show you the unit.

    Any questions feel free to ask Kilroy,

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Hey CC, I appreciate that. At least RM seems to be doing actual testing with drivers, where I wonder if the Garmin 465T had any testing other then people who sit behind a desk. The 465T seems IMO to be little more then a Auto GPS with some truck features thrown in. Right now I am using the Garmin 255W, with the RM 2010 Motor Carriers Atlas by my side. I look forward to the test results when Diesel posts them.

    I now understand the system but how will the GPS handle the routing?
