    I bought the 510 on sale because of the 520 coming out
    still can be had at TS's for $199

    to me the 7 inch screen is too big and distracting
    I listen to the instructions more then look at the screen
    the RM warns of weigh stations, tollbooths , steep grades and curves ahead also

    then a mile or 2 from receiver I let copilot and rm argue it out which way I will go :biggrin_25523:

    There ya go .....Pete likes his ....Husband likes his ...so either one would do the trick. I would say it's a matter of personal preference on screen size and a matter of finding the best bargain.

    you spend 35 years on the Atlantic acting like George Clooney in "The Perfect Storm"
    you will have had some adventures

    my boat arrived back in Gloucester 10 days before that storm hit
    the offshore lobster boat that flipped end for end in that storm
    I got the crew member the job on the boat just a few months before that
    I am not sure he ever forgave me :biggrin_25521:

    Plaza and Go doesn't pull up on truck masters fuel finders, closet thing that pulled up was in Newton, so I re routed him that way, instead of taking 96 off of 235, I put him onto 135 towards Newton and he decided to stop at the rest stop on 135 near mm22. I was trying to find anything close to the drop off, and was not seeing anything on map or websites... I told him if TA had a problem they could call me, and I would play a fiery red head....

    you need to tell him buy the pocket truck stop quide
    no offense but he has to learn this stuff himself
    or you have to go drive the truck
    no reason not to be parked in Hutchinson ks 5 miles from the receiver
    that is how you manage your hours to be available for better runs everyday
    I stay out weeks on end and 9-10 days always have my 11 hours available next day
    you better find something better then fuel finders if it doesn't show a TS in Hutchinson
     
    New OTR Wife Thanks this.
