    I've got a Garmin 560, a Nuvi, and a Tom Tom. I use my phone and Google maps when I'm unsure of the area because it's way more accurate and the girl speaks English better. ;-)

    Well, he only needs a special truck GPS guaranteed to align with the data contained within the latest RMMCA.

    The GPS unit /GIS software is completely irrelevant. To satisfy due diligence any questionable portions of a route must always be checked against the latest print edition of the RMMCA, so special truck GPSs are a waste of money, IMO.

    I use google maps on my galaxy s5. I have a clamp for the phone that mounts to the windshield. I also have a 2015 Rand McNally atlas and use it to verify the routing my phone gives me.

    My Garmin and I have a love/hate relationship, she hates that I love to take her on a route she didn't provide, especially when the route I took, is quicker than the route she gave me. She generally forgives me in the end. Still, one of these days she'll get revenge and I'll probably be starting a thread with: My Garmin routed me into a lake, now what?

    Wait until Garmin and Siri start to talk to eachother...... Siri knows where to hide dead bodies and Garmin can take you there.
