    Don't buy it. I did, used it for 2 trips and returned it. It's worthless as a truckers gps. My observations: can't hear it, even in a car... even tried an external speaker and still not audible in a moving big truck; voices are poor quality and words are spoken too fast; touchscreen is not accurate even after calibration 2-3 times with the stylus; almost always late showing turns, sometimes by .2 mile; time got messed up.. I had to change time zone to central (in eastern) just so it would show accurate eta's; I could go on and on, but I think you can get the message. Good concept and much needed device, but wait until its been revised, updated and refined.

    I purchased the pcmiller co-pilot last month. So far it has told me that a major highway is "restricted" and it wasn't. It has showed me that I'm going through a field in Arkansas and requesting that I turn left when there is no left and I am on a highway. I have been lead down a residential dead end street; that was fun to get out of backing up. It does have good points when I need to stop and send a western union or I need a welcome center, truck stop, rest area, truck parking etc.
    I have to admit that with the exception of the above problem with the residential street, it has improved my delivery time and reduced my cussing time.
