    I would suggest a cobra 29 classic you can pick one up for about 90 bucks or so, great all around cb. As for gps if you got a laptop I would get microsoft streets and trips you can get that for about 80 bucks, but keep in mind its not truck friendly, so you will have to learn the program to get it to go the way you want to go when planning out your trip.
