    @Mark Kling I see you list yourself as a Rand McNally consultant of some sort. I am in need of a new GPS since my S&T GPS antenna has recently given up the ghost. Does RM offer anything that will do the following or am I limited to Co-Pilot?

    I want to use a netbook or similar size display
    I want to be able to drag and drop my own route
    I don't want to rely on a wifi connection
    I want to be able to save dedicated routes to many, many different consignees

    Wanted to route me in a place in Baltimore with no truck signs posted everywhere. And then I ended up on a road with a low bridge...thankfully the cop didn't give me a ticket for helping.

    I've never been routed where i didn't belong. Except some times in California.

    I loved copilot.

    You can google for different maps on pc. And possibly use your phone for the gps transmitter using bluetooth.

    I used to be able to do it with windows 7. Haven't screwed around with 10 yet.

    Streets and trips (non truck version) has always done that to me but that’s why I need to drag and drop my route

    You can buy a antenna with a USB plug from Amazon.
    I think NEMA compliant works, I just replace mine it works with s&t and delorme.
