    How does it work better? I can get an android cheap if it’s that much better.

    I asked for and received a refund on smart truck. It kept sending me to he wrong place. It kept crashing. I was very disappointed. I was using the iOS. Bummed.

    There is a procedure to changing devices but it involves contacting tech support

    Hi guys, this is my first post here... I've been reading this entire thread and the last 10 or so pages of the RM support thread.

    Do you guys have any advice on the features you like on STR2 vs the CoPilot app? Trying to decide.

    Key features that are important:
    -Routing
    -Concerns with connectivity (4g) with STR2 as you cannot download the maps
    -Good interface / learning curve

    I ran both copilot and Smart Truck and there is no comparison.
    Truck poi are far better..better display..voice programing, full screen view... great customer service and frequent updates.
    No real issue with signal loss.
    I also like satellite view available and the google poi since maps are overlayed on google maps.
    Street view also available.
    Honestly, for the price as compared to a RM or Garmin you can run both apps and still be way ahead.

    How's the routing? Does STR2 take you on less "impossible" routes ie. low bridges, illegal streets, etc.?

    Also, looks like it has been a few months, have they added the feature where it provides 2 alternate routes that you can select from?
