    I am looking for one as well. All I need it to do is truck routes. I don't really need all the bells and whistles.

    He’s asking about GPS tracking systems, not a GPS device used by a driver.

    GPS tracking systems will track a vehicle everywhere to check on employee’s whereabouts and to help recover stolen equipment.

    Well Streak you make it more difficult than it is. If you are knowledgeable on the matter, spit out. First talk about the ones that give real time info vs the ones that can be removed. Then proceed on to pros and cons. Finally, give brand names, etc.

    Thanks,

    I didnt make it more complicated. I simply asked another question. There is not a one kind fits all gps unit. This is not black and white and your answers will better facilitate my responses.

    expertise* 3 years as a Private Investigator where infidelity and vehicle tracking where my forte.

    Can post more indepth once im stopped for the night.

    I am a driver and want something like a Rand Mcnally ... just without all the bells and whistles. All I am really interested in is turn by turn and truck routing. thanx
