    I think that is one of the two I found. I bought CoPilot...but I don't mind buying another and trying it out. Thanks!

    Google Maps is OK...when traveling through STL I had some issues with it and it kept trying to redirect me onto back roads. The traffic feature is cool, but I didn't focus on it quickly enough and got stuck in bumper to bumper. Not the fault of the app.

    Any updates on this, I was looking at buying one of these apps. The trucking version of CoPilot is a $150! Smarttruck route is a subscription starting at $20/mo.

    Do you still feel smarttruck route is worth the $ ?

    Can you use it without phone service?

    I'd go with a Rand Mcnally or Garmin. Phone GPS's are to small and eat up a lot of data. Not that many features either
