Best GPS for Trucks

What is a GPS?

 

We bought a Rand McNally 730.

It sucks less than most others we've tried. Be aware it is big and weighs 4lb.... quite a beast to mount.

 

I'm not a Fan of the Rand Units.

But 4lbs?
Did you weigh it?
Amazon says 11.7 Ounces

Maybe that was the box? Probably. All I can say is none of my go-to solutions for sticking junk to the dash worked. Usually 3M duralock velcro works for just about anything. Not this time.

I wound up buying two rare earth magnet mounts, sanding spots on the back of the unit and using epoxy to stick the unit side to the back. Seems fine now.. but it took a few jury rigged tries before I got it mounted.

 

Rand McNally is probably the best. We also have a Garmin which ain't bad.

 

I switched to co-pilot about a month or two ago, I really like it, I have the app installed on my iPad mini 4 (cellular model) using the ram mount.

 

I'm going to agree with using copilot. No gps is perfect.

 

I tired copilot.....once...and it said my customer was 3 blocks into an residential area when I was staring at the customer.

But yall copilot lovers, question, if you use a tablet, how did you mount it and I'm assuming the map has to be downloaded for offline travels? I might try it again once more....

But i been using my garmin 770, my 1993 rand Mcnally map book and google maps and it seem to be doing well.

*btw kidding on 1993*
