    yes, its the navigation system used via the qualcomm, set to the parameters SNI wants to use. It has its failings, early on in my tenure there I was sent to Jersey on a 2 stop paper goods load, it routed me to a 10 foot railroad trestle, and a guy who used to work for SNI lives right there and said it happens ALL THE TIME, as he kindly helped me get turned around. Scary situation for a newbie to deal with.

    Yes you get Jill (Qualcomm gps) and like, was mentioned above... she will shut down when your 8 miles from drop, when you finally find a place to take a break... so that you are not able to log off duty... basically at the wrong time!
    So yes, when you can, buy a truck approved GPS and have an atlas on board.
     
    lil penny Thanks this.
