    Right on the 105 there John? If so I've pulled that one. Nice easy place to get to and load.

    I went there once but they wouldn't load me. I didn't have a swing door.

    I first bought the Auto Version to take it for a test drive, but then a week later the Truck Version went on sale for $99 (normally $149)... So I went ahead and jumped on it.

    If the Auto Version is working for you I might not consider even buying the Truck Version. Save the money as I don't think the CoPilot Truck Version is all that great... It routed we into a 13' 2" bridge in St. Louis... It tried to route me through Atlanta, instead of around town, three times in a week, the speed listed is rarely correct and if it is, it's the car speed and never truck speed, routed me towards a bridge in Ohio that was not weighted for 80k, never warned me about low bridges in NYC. Etc Etc Etc.

    I bought the RM730 and it has it's pros and cons too but it's bells and whistles seem much more trucker oriented.

    Currently, I am using a dual screen option of the RM730 for trucker routing and bells and whistles but I keep going back to CoPilot for my "mapping".... If that makes any sense. The CoPilot is much more "map like" and is much easier to manipulate than the RM. and then I run other apps on my Smartphone too for weather, truckers path pro, etc.

    If you want the Truck Version of CoPilot, keep an eye out for it during the Fall as its been $50 off at some point during the Fall for the last several years.

    Well, sometimes that's when the load is ready and that's when the load is due... {shrug}

    Sigh.....Broke down AGAIN. Air leak.

    This is what they get for keeping me NE and running overnight. I don't have these issues on long runs.
