    Looking at that site and Garmin, they look to be the same. They're both trucking GPS with same model numbers. Although you can probably find it cheaper other than qvc.

    Some of these come with unlimited map updates, others do not. This could make a difference on the price.

    I regret buying a Garmin 560. At first it worked ok. After a month, it started freezing up, routing me on state highways, when the interstate was a lot faster. Yesterday while going into Columbus, Oh. on I70, all it could do was warn me that I wasn't allowed on that road. It is not as accurate as my 4 year old Tomtom. When entering an address, you have to set it to look for truck stops and rest areas, in (my active route) every time, or it will reset to default (where I am now) In other words, while driving and looking for a truck stop, it will give you a list of all truck stops 50 miles out of route.

    It's too late to get my money back, and if an update doesn't fix the #### thing, I will burn it.

    Buy a truck atlas, preferably laminated, and use google maps on your phone. Save up until you have enough for the gps and buy it on amazon or Walmart.

    I use a Rand McNally TND710, a Garmin 3790, and google maps on my iPhone 4s. Remember that a gps unit should be used to suggest a route, let common sense be your true guide.
