    Mine died in a different way today going from 200 Patton Ave in Greensboro NC to the Wilco truck stop in Martinsville VA. When I came to an wxit to get on 220 the sign said no trucks. I didn't take it. When I should have been on the road I saw a 48ft symbol flash on the screen with the verbal warning. It didn't recognize that I had veered of course. It showed the arrow sitting on a blue road. I continued up the road until I saw something that said XXXX Parkway. I went in and picked my most recent destination and hit GO. It caught where I was and got me back on route.

    One thing I did program in tonight was the Walmart DC in Marcy NY. It actually worked! I went there in July and it couldn't find it.

    I was in Martinsville VA I went to the Wilco to park for the night. Room for 4 trucks. There is a bigger Wilco down the street from the race track. This I found out the next morning by accident. Not on the list for TS's.

    Things need updating. The other Wilco looked newer, lots more parking.

    Brian,
    For my two cents, I think what your doing with this forum is a great idea. I wish more companies would listen to the consumers that buy their product.

    1940 E Brooks RD Memphis TN to 4880 Tuggle RD Memphis TN.

    When you get to Shelby Ave it tells you to take a U-turn.

    Washington Ave in Peru IN to the T/A in Clayton IN. Routed me under a 13'6" bridge. I cleared by a few inches.

    Then had me turn left at the McDonalds to get to US31. As soon as I turned left I saw a sign for and 18 ton bridge right in front of me.

    Got out the map and picked a town out off US24 to by pass that bridge. A little ways out I came to an entrance ramp to US31. I reset for the T/A. It tried to have me do a U-turn and go back to that bridge. Half way up the ramp it caught on and corrected itself.

    I was configured 13'6" and 80K

    I ran a simulation and I did not see that. Maybe I need to try the same truck setup that you are using. Please let me know your truck setup, including all the weights & lengths.

    I cannot find the 13'6" bridge. Where is it located?

    I believe I have found the 18 ton bridge. I will have our engineers investigate.
