Best GPS unit?

So it is like other EOBRs which use a backend and a subscription service to pull the data from the unit to the server to the user in order to be compliant. By the way, there are no FMCSA certified units on the market, EOBR regs are written just like other DOT regs, there is a self-certification method used so anyone who writes an app or program (like DDL) can certify their app or program. the new proposed ELD-EOBR stuff takes it a step further by having a third party certify the unit (among a few other changes), which to me reeks of big money for the manufacturers and testers and a trap for us.

 

Did not mention FMCSA certified. I wrote certified. I have not seen the certification process itself, but a 3rd party would be more impartial to a certification.

I can most certainly ask how the certification is done.

you tap the certification button. and that's it.

 

Update - the reg is 395.15 that details the certification for the EOBR. RM will supply a Letter if the user requests it.

Thanks,

I just bought a 32 Gb Nexus tablet with a monstrous 10.1" screen.

Looking forward to getting CoPilot up and running on it. I need to find a mount that can hold the beast, first.

 

Good deal! That's awesome, you're gonna love that tablet. I bought the 10inch Tab2 and I also need a mount and don't know which type is best for a prostar. Best Buy has nothing to offer. Ram has them all, but deciding which one is my dilemma, and being on the road for 6 weeks doesn't help.
I'm planning on checking with diesel boss, maybe he has the solution.

 

I bought one off amazon for like 10$. I hold a 10in galaxy note 10.1 2014 with it. Best 10$ ever spent

is it really that hard for a company to grab the best of Rand, Garmin, Cobra, etc. and come up with a GPS unit that avoids all actual 13'6 structures, 34k lb or less roads according, shows legal alternate rte in timely fasion, etc. and shows walmarts, casino's, open rest areas, and other parking areas using the latest google earth, DOT, Rand Mcnally trucker atlas data?
