Rand McNally TND530 with lifetime map updates. It's awesome!!!!

 

I use the 720

 

Me too and use it for IFTA mileage report too...makes my quarterly filings a breeze.

 

You may of just saved my ###.

 

Plug GPS into your computer as you would to update it...click on mileage report icon...download report, print. State mileage broken down per quarter by state/date.

 

I try to use Jill as much as possible just to make sure my out of route stays low. However I do have a rand McNally as well. My main concern with Jill is how slow it can to load a route

 

I've got the RM 730 as well. I love it! I try to stay on Jill's route and use the info screen on the 730 for all my in-route data needs, like eta, avg speed and so forth. The one thing I don't like is that, where Jill usually routes you around big cities, the 730 wants me to go through them. Sometimes, though, Jill will do something goofy and I'll use the 730 route. Sometimes I don't listen to either one of them. LOL But overall, I would suggest the 730 if asked ... which you did. I'm curious about the new RM tablet that's out that has the trip planner and dash cam on it as well as all the other 730 functions.

 

Sends you on some winding state route through the mountains, then around 270 at 1pm. Makes so much sense

 

I use the Garmin 760 dezl with lifetime maps and traffic. I love it. I think it's been replaced by the 770 or higher. As stated above, I use it to back up Jill. She always seems to fail in the middle of a city where turns are critical. I compare routes between the two as I go. I usually use Jill's directions, especially at the customer locations. The Garmin is nice with ETA's and instantly rerouting when you miss a turn. I also use the voice commands a lot enroute to check for truck stops or rest areas. I can change on the fly where I want to stop based on how many hours I have left and where the stops are. I's nice to not have to stop to check variations on a route. Now if it could just tell me if there is any parking available, it would be worth its weight in gold...
