    I also use http://efsrc.promilesonline.com/EFSTruckStops/ByRoute.aspx because it list all the places where my EFS card accepted.

    I also use find fuel stops so I can save a route for future use. I look at where it estimates I need fuel and compare that with the EFS site on where would be the place for me to fuel.

    Also if you have laptop and time to pull up www.findfuelstops.com, it will have prices listed. TA are not usually, they have to be looked up on their web page. You can also look up Pilot/FlyJ and Petro, and Love's on their home page.

    The rand mc wifi has severe limitations. Many drivers (not just me) have ishues keeping it connecteed. Many time it will get prices for a few on the route, but then just fail to load any more. Its un reliable and pretty useless.

    Double yellow has been informed many times that the map updates for his 720 are in process but based upon some business decisions that need to be made first.

    support thread under Electronic Connection. Most issues stem back to the Hotspot. If you go from a 3g/4g area your hotspot may drop internet or it may slow down. Fuel is gotten from an internet source.

    make sure you don't normal gps for cars. I got a mountain bypass near my home and it's restricted for trucks over 10 tons to go there. Many trucks are being pulled. Its PA 144 between Pleasant Gap and Centre Hall.
