    I have a del on west side of M river, and looking at the map it seems that only way to get there is to take Saw Mill Run Blvd right before Ft Pitt tunnel. Is it a truck route?

    If you don't have a truck GPS, get one. Until then you can use the free trial period for Trucker Path. With Trucker Path, any level of paid(or free trial) gives you turn-by-turn directions FOR TRUCKS. You can keep getting free trials of the paid version of TP by using a new email address each time you start the trial. Google Maps gives directions for cars, not semi-trucks.

    Is it working good now?. Probably been about a year since I tried messing with it. Was super glitchy for me

    It's not always worked right,I don't use it a lot but sometimes I use it in cities to get to a new location or haz mat routes.I use it to find truck stops along my route,the travel time it shows to a location is pretty accurate for when I'm running out of drive time.I drive from Houston to Edmonton and take different routes a lot,dodging weather,anywhere between I 25 and I 35.

    Well I've dug out my GPS ( not a fan), and followed its direction. Of course it took me over the river and into downtown Pittsburgh where I had to do several sharp righ hand turns and go under 13 4 bridge. And then while I was in 10th street tunnel it politely asked me to do u turn. I ( less politely) declined. I hate those things. If I went the way I wanted to, I probably would do 1-2 extra miles, but would've arrive faster with much less stress for me, and fine Pittsburgh citizens.

    it works 80% ok with NYC. Atleast it knows where we can squeeze vertically but if you miss a turn it’ll try making you do a turn around in roads you have no business going into.
