Best GPS for truckers?

Set the parameters and copilot NEVER steered me wrong

 

All parameters for truck length/height/weight are set, navigation is still not accurate. Getting tons of driver complaints every day, and not even half the truck fleet are "implimented" yet.

 

Copilot has never given me any issues like this. Mainly because in the settings I have properly built my vehicle based on the dimensions and I have selected the types of roads that I would like it to use.

All of this can be corrected under "Vehicle Profile". Set the dimensions and then select the type of roads that you prefer and it will route accordingly.

In the early days of Co-Pilot it was a mess and it was really hard to navigate and searching for an address was nearly impossible due to the way their classic search function was implemented in the app. The last 4 years have been a dream compared to the old ways of the software before Trimble took over.

 

Garmin 810 for me, backed up with searching the physical address on google maps and scoping it out from the interstate to the physical address.

Garmin has only steered me wrong once, near Cleveland OH, a new development had a weight limit sign put up 2 months before saying gross 20 tons because they didn't like the truck traffic to the nearby coca-cola plant.

 

Mine does five over. It will buzz me if I go 5 mph or more over. But I actually prefer this because the company I work for monitors our speed. On the freeway we’re allowed 5 mph over if we go 6 mph over or more for more than nine seconds we get recorded and logged, it’s 3mph over in the city. Having my GPS/app set to yell at me if I go more than 5 mph over has probably saved me because I have not received even one of these yet.

 

Hey bro, you're still using Co-Pilot? My company use them but I don't know how much their subscription is for an individual.

 

Copilot is a one time license.
I don't know what the fee is for traffic and whatever else it offers these days.

 

Oh ok, cool, thanks.

 

I use the GPS on the Qualcomm. Until we get our new systems. I haven’t really had too many bad experiences with it even on rural pickups down hours of small roads. It’s generally more accurate than our company routing and notes from the shippers who have sent us down restricted roads instead of the designated truck routes set up for these same shippers. (I’m just assuming they’re outdated as neither companies seems to be past the 90’s in technology).

 

My experience was the Qualcomm navigation was the single worst method of all I ever tried. My last experience with one was 2017.
