    On a scale 1 to 10, how would you rate navigo? I would rate it an 8, I have a pc miler , but the navigo seems to be more accurate.

    A 3. It doesn't re-calculate quickly and sometimes if you're on a yard somewhere and it doesn't recognize where you're at it won't calculate at all. Plus it tells me to take some funky routes. I rarely if ever use it.

    Im sorry to hear that.. It works fine for me. Yes, its a little slow re calculating. I like it because its put you at the entrance. My gps puts me at the main office , which is the front of the building.

    I would say a 4.5. I was on 80 going by Chicago and it was trying to route me off the interstate, go a quarter mile then jump right back on. It also has no setting to avoid routing my hazmat load through a tunnel. I will say I haven't thoroughly went through it to see if there are settings that would help. And I agree, sometimes it will not reroute. I use it to compare with my Atlas and rand McNally gps that I have.

    I thought you were talking about a trucking company with a similar name?

    I use it every trip so I don't get out of route. It sucks taking the back roads sometimes but it is what it is. I don't like the way it loses its way every once in a while but it's usually pretty reliable.

    When you have an issue with a route or a road, do you go in and add feedback? I figured that option out the other day. It actually works and your update gets changed in the system.

    I haven't messed with it much but that's not a bad idea.

    actually, it does have HAZMAT routes. I haven't done it in a while, but I was walked through how to do it with the HAZMAT team once.

    Something like put in the customer code of where you are going in the location search the /(class of hazmat here) and it should route you with an approved HAZMAT route.

    All in all it is a decent system, I give it an 8, although I rarely follow it.
