I'm about to order a new truck and was wondering if the new navigation system is any good or if you would prefer a standalone unit?
New Pete navigation system any good?

So far so good. It has truck profile section so you can get routing for hazmat and oversize stuff too.

In my 2016 it sucks. Freezes up after a short time if I have a destination programmed. About the only thing that screen is good for is reading the odd check engine light code. I'd rather have a CD player and more gauges. And a cable and insite to read any faults.

A 2nd transmission temp gauge (have a mechanical already)
Boost gauge - what ecm thinks boost is
Dpf filter gauge - always reads 0
Throttle % gauge
Mpg gauge - also available in clock menu on other screen
Oil temp gauge - have a mechanical already
No option to switch what it shows
Pretty much useless -

Should be pretty good. They’re using CoPilot Truck which I use on a tablet. I go to a lot of places trucks don’t normally tread and it’s the only one of the four or five I’ve tried over the years that won’t navigate you into a bad situation. Not perfect but you should always check suggested routing from a gps against a map anyhow.

Can I add more gauges to the screen? I want to add a fuel restriction gauge but don’t have room on the dash for it.
