    It's probably afraid to give you any trouble Oh Cranky One!:biggrin_25525:

    You're doing good, Pete. Stay strong.....you've got this. We all know how stubborn you are....you will win the battle.

    I love the internet and all of the good things that it has brought into our world.....but what is it with teenage boys??? They seem to believe that it is a license to say some of the most crude things to teenage girls. The truly bad part is that young people accept this as "just the way things are" and no big deal.
    Be prepared....an explosion of epic proportions is about to descend upon our land......The Queen is preparing to dispense pain and mayhem to these very foolish and ignorant young men. :blackknight:

    I enjoy the Navigo system on my qualcomm. Best gps I have worked with yet. Easy to use to. Cargo is great so far. I can go home after 7 days and not feel guilty about it. Got home at 10am this morning. Head back out on Thursday. I will say it again. Couldn't have gotten to this point without TransAm. Of course, I wouldn't go back either.

    my rm 510 served me well for a few years before it decided to take a walk when I was in Dallas a few months ago so I got myself the new 530.

    saw the rm tablet but like Pete, I'm a laptop guy and I've never had a problem with my laptop. I leave it on the bunk as well as my ps3. no problems with either and both have been on the truck for years.

    Though technology is a "to each his own" type thing anyway. I've seen truckers with laptop mounts so they have their laptops available for gps, elogs, etc. I wouldn't like that. between my gps and google maps on both phone and laptop, I do well.

    I think the 7 inch gps are too big for the windshield in my opinion so I couldn't imagine putting a tablet up there, but we all have our ways of doing things.

    Hope everyone is staying safe out there.

    i never look at the map on the gps
    i already have a picture of the location in my mind
    for me 1.2 miles to exit is what i find helpful
    or the next 30 fuel stops on my way

    stuck in Ontario CA today
    not very typical
    lots of these guys look homeless

    It doesn't have to be mounted on the windshield unless you were using the video set-up with the tablet......mostly the King just listened....and sometimes talked back.:p Being able to connect other camera systems to it is a big plus. The camera on the tablet is nice for the TransFlo app that is pre-installed.
