    This thread again, I know.

    I hate NaviGo in the Qualcomm. Deciding between the TND 730 or the Garmin dēzl 770LMTHD. The TND is on sale for $250 at Best Buy while the Garmin is $380.

    That is all you need then. Take the $300 you would spend on a gps and when you get home take the family out to dinner. If no family go to a ballgame etc.

    People nowadays seem to get into way more trouble with gps then we did with the laminated atlas.

    Tnd, trucker atlas, google maps satelite view, call shippers or receivers. Use em all for best results. Tnd is all i ever used so i cant say if others are better or worse.
