Best GPS unit?

Mine likes to drive in lakes in certain areas. also likes some dunes on the border

 

Lol. My little truck icon was in the woods one night . Then the truck started spinning .
It was kinda funny , I thought I was just really tired at first and then it recalculated itself.lol

 

Parts of 95 once you cross the GW bridge is rated for NON-STAA (48'96"). Normally most drivers once they are going across the GWB will set to 48'96". I know... everyone drives it... but still, this is what NY DOT has determined the roads to be.

Oh , I was wandering why . I downloaded all their maps off their dot site before I went in so that I had a plan if things got bad. It showed missing parts on hwys where there was no STAA rating . I thought it was weird at first , but I figured hey everyone else is going this way , so am I.. lol

 

Don't forget that they will send you a free copy of the paper truck route map for NYC at this link: http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/motorist/trucks.shtml#map

Maybe not a big deal if you were only going once, but a handy one for the jockey box collection even if you only go a few times per year. They do need to put out an updated edition of it though. Maybe someone should yell at NYC for not updating THEIR maps, lol.

 

Hey thanks !
I may get them to send me one just incase . I have been up there a few times now .
this however is the first time I went to long island . All the other times I hit 87 and went north.

 

Be aware of this.

Those of you running the Northeast Corridor: The I-495 bridge over the Christina River in Delaware is closed indefinitely. Traffic in both directions between Terminal Ave. and 12th Street is being diverted onto US-95.

This may be awhile, seems the dirt that was piled next to the bridge supports may have been affecting the ground under the bridge.

 

This is also a PDF that you can download and save to your computer.

 

Personally, I like the Garmin 1000 in my Dakota. Roads, we don't need roads.
