Just bought the Rand McNally 7 inch Truck GPS on ebay. Slightly used for a total of $345 including shipping. I am a happy guy.
It should do better than the one on the trucks...LOL My Miss Ditzy told me all the way from just north of Denver to just inside of Kansas to turn around!!!!
Let me know how you like it. One of the guys in orientation has the 510 and he really likes it. I believe the only difference is screen size.
Funny update on Miss Ditzy.....I'm in Ardmore, OK and she's still trying to send me back to Laramie...LOL
OK, I am a sick man. After four days off I cannot wait to get back on the road. I think Anne is itching to get rolling also. We are going to clean and reorganize the truck (for the nth time) and then get out of here this afternoon I hope. I have been asked by a number of people so once we get it cleaned up, I will take pictures of how we have it set up inside and post.
Yeah this blog is a little sensitive. My first account I put a link to my website and got banned forever. No problem (heh) delete cookie on hard drive and create new account. Then I got identified as a spammer (either machine or human complaint?) and so my comments were "machine" moderated. Then I noticed the blog machinery got upset because I mentioned that I study kung foo (but spelled it correctly) and so the machine x'ed out the efff ueeh like I was proceeding to spell something else. The only thing that is not locked down (thankfully) is our opinions which is necessary if we are to discuss trucking honestly. I already accidentally quieted the apologists for Schneider who seemed adamant to put their good faith spin on all discussion. They were actually doing a good service but when I mentioned the TRUTH of what happened to me in Fontana this week, I had to write their script for them (pathetic). I was surprised (because I did not even try) that a link made it by the censors. I guess you did not get banned like me for putting your blog link in your signature because you have a history of participation. I did it off the "get go" and got "banned for life".
I want to see pictures!!!!!! I'm always looking for ways to get more organized and be able to have a little more stuff....LOL BTW, you and Anne are not sick......I can barely stand to be home for 3 days and then I'm ready to hit the road again. I did 4 weeks/4 days a couple of times and that was just too much on both ends.
