    “DO NOT TRUST CRETES GPS!!”
    I second guessed my Garmin telling me to turn left and followed the tablet telling me to go straight.
    This is after I was lucky to find a place to turn around.

    I think there's a feedback button. But yeah, it's good for city to city routing but those side streets getting to and from customers are where things get tricky. I've had it send me to the car entrance numerous times, tried sending me down a road with a 13'4" bridge last week, though the bridge may have been after where I needed to turn, things were a mess in that town.

    The headline should have read "DO NOT TRUST ANY GPS, ESPECIALLY CRETE'S". the last time I used a Co-Pilot system there were some settings where you could set your vehicle size and weight so it would eliminate the use of weight restricted roads.

    I haven't had any problems with the co pilot gps. I usually run my garmin in tandem, but I've thought about stopping, as they are almost always identical. It's definitely never ran me into trouble. I like that it routes me right to the truck entrances.

    NO NO NO tablet GPS is a stinky
    Gives u false reports of alt routes due to non existent traffic its garbage... cross reference Google maps sometimes for traffic updates and follow randy or garmin that hammer app isn't bad though... tablet blows imo and so do current miles
     
    O.Henry Thanks this.

    My miles have been pretty good as long as I don't get out east. I've been averaging around 2800/ week or so.
