Gps questions

Regardless of what anybody tells you,

please use them with caution...They are not GOD !!!!

 

Go to the electronics thread. Allot of info on there.
Also Diesel Boss is on there allot. He owns a shop and does allot of reviews on them. You can find links to his reviews on his posts. Just look around.

 

I suggest to only use them for quick reference if you plan your route in advance using a map and asking other driver is the best bet.

 

I'm running a Rand McNally TND-500. If you've ever used a car GPS, this truck unit will impress!

Remember, any GPS is just a tool, not a complete solution. Be sure to carry an Trucker's Road Atlas with you as well.

I also use my iphone gps as well with the Rand and the Atlas.

 

I like my Rand McNally, I like it a lot.

 

i like mine, but yes dont trust it. almost killed me yesterday when i got to ####y/lazy with it. always plan your own route and know where your going, and use it as a reference. this isnt like your car where if you take a wrong turn it can always be fixed fairly easy. you can get in trouble really fast in a truck even without relying on one of these. once you do i promise getting royally screwed is only a matter of time.

 

Rand all the way
