    I just got the 570 and I highly recommend 770 or 570.

    Been a long time 560 user. I'm tried the Cobra, 2 different Rand Mcnallys.. the Garmin has been the most reliable with the quickest calculation and recalculation times.. even when routing over 1000 mi.

    The new Garmin have glass screens as well much better than the old plastic screen which after 2 yrs of use will show its age.

    Just get a Rand Mcnally. Its the most user friendly of them all (and ive used them all, had a lot of co-drivers). Ive found the POI feature to be unmatched by all of its competitors. Also anywhere in the country you happen to be it always shows your city, county and state on the bottom of the screen. I loved that feature and just found it to be so priceless when i was OTR. If you are on paper logs it makes it 10x easier to fill out your log book plus its just good to know. The Garmin Dezl you have to go in the settings to look up your location and half the time it comes back with unavailable; completely unreliable. Rand McNally isnt without its problems (no models are) but when it works it works GREAT.
