    Even the old Cobra 7700 has that. Plus hazmat restrictions.

    coPolit for truckers is very flexable and you can set up your trip and all your stops at the beganing of your trip and it will show you the truck route and hazmat route and truck stops on that route it also shows the rest areas on the route its the best GPS that I have used in the 20 years of driving

    If you want it on a laptop, CoPilot Live Truck ver 8.

    If you want a stand-alone style GPS then go with Rand, PCM Navigator, or Cobra. (the Garmin Dezl testing is not completed here, so I leave that one out at the moment, but I'm not declaring that it isn't a possible option.)

    Mr Diesel what i want with my new GPS Trucker one, is to be able to plan my 14 or 11 hr day with it.
    Like i need to preplan my day as to find a truckstop around the 10hr time. That way if no parking i have time to find another.

    thanks for all the advice, I'm leaning towards the Cobra Just because the support seams to be better so far.

    I bought my son the t700 rand and he loves it. Says it does everthing but drive. You have to spend some time figuring out all the options to get it set up custom. Once you do changes are easy. Or just turn it on and use the default settings to get down the road. Hes new out there so i researched all the brands talked about and felt the Rand McNally was the one to get him. So far so good. I tell him any electronic's can and will fail, use the maps and your cb. Hah!

    I looked at the reviews from the Rand McNally, and time after time, bad reviews were given. A lot of them were from the GPS locking/freezing up. That's why I went with Cobra. It had better reviews...

    And I was so pleased with the Cobra 7700, that I bought the new 7750. I still have the 7700 for now. I'm trying to sell it.
