Cobra Electronics 7700 PRO GPS

Thanks DeiselBoss. Really looking forward to the comparison.

 

Hi Brian,

Good thread, I learned alot. I drive a straight box truck (class B cdl). I travel from Delaware to Miami, Mobile to Memphis. My driving is split between interstate and small secondart roads. I get very mad at my car gps for taking me through neighborhoods to get to my location. Another time it took me through the middle of DC instead of driving 2 miles the opposite way to catch the 495 loop around DC. Will your gps help me with this? I visit many Mom & Pop stores; how many locations will the address book hold? I also wish there was some way of backing up the adress book in case the unit went down, I wouldn't lose all that info (I love that my Blackberry phone backs up to my pc). I can't remember all my questions righ now. Thanks

 

Regular PC routing programs like MS Streets and Trips does. But you still have to do some basic math to come up with the State by State miles.

 

Just bought a Cobra 7700 at Amazon for $399 Shipped Free. I'll update when I can put it to use.

 

Yes keep up the update on the cobra 7700 got a garmin 1490t now works great but looking for something for truck friendly.

 

Brain,
do we let you know if their is a bad address, found one that was 20 or so miles off customer dosn't know how to fix it either, business next door is correct though.
what is the sd card slot for can't find any info on it.
One week with the unit and has performed very well. I assume by the lack of posts here its either a really good gps or not many people are buying it.

 

Brian
Thanks for the reply, email sent.

 

Hey Brian,

GREAT THREAD! I've only driven for a couple months, but there is a feature on the Garmins that I really want. It's "Lane Assist". There were a couple times that the signage wasn't really adequate or didn't tell you which lane to be in early enough. It's really good to know when you are in traffic and know far enough in advance what lane to get into.

For instance: If the Interstate I'm on splits, the lane I need is on the inside right of the split and crosses over/under back to the left. Will the 7700 just show to turn left?
