Why, 225 miles ain't that long of a side road! Thought the rule was "Must follow GPS!", regardless of how big the lake is that it tells you to drive into! "The all powerful GPS has spoken".

Well I was really leaning toward buying a Garmin dezel but you guys mentioned co-pilot.
So I began using it I think I only ran one trip so far but it's interesting. I like the idea for now is being able to use it for $10 a month or whatever it is versus laying out $300 or more for a GPS right at the moment.
I'm still trying to figure out the ways I can use it, like I'm trying to figure out how to look at routes from another location to a different location rather than the current location.
But I have to say I really do like that it keeps track of your state mileage. That is a really good teacher because it's truly one less thing that you have to do.
Then again maybe you should keep track track of it separately anyway?
Is there a way that you can lose that information? -
I HATE them ALL! I have the Garmin dzel 700 series also have the rand McNally overdryve 8 pro. Literally the best ones both companies offer. And I have to run them both all the time. 1 will tell me one way, the other a different way. They both work horrible if there's any type of clouds in the sky. They'll lose satellite connection. At least the Garmin will tell me. The rand I have to keep an eye on what it tells me the distance is to see if its still connected. So I run goggle maps on my phone as well as an added back. Google maps always works perfect. Just never know if its a truck route or not. Wish Google would make even a monthly subscription service to add truck routes. They'd make so much money

Copilot routed me several times through truck restricted places so I'm done with that.
I don't know how they can do it but I really wish someone would make a GPS that truly knows what the truck only routes really are.
That I would be happy to pay whatever price for.Lucky12 Thanks this. -

"Truck traffic is not allowed inside the perimeter of Atlanta. All trucks traveling on I-75, I-85, or I-20 must take I-285 around the city"
