Trucking GPS systems?

I voted for the PCMiler because it is the only one I know of right now that has Canadian truck routes and addresses, which iis a really big deal for me. I think the Garmin might, but dunno for sure.

 

At this time, it does not.

 

Thanks in advance for clicking here. I got a job hauling fuel. So I need a trucking specific GPS unit AND one that I can program in that I'm hauling Haz-Mat. So far all I've found is one made by Garmin. Are there others I should look at? Thanks again.

Whats the best GPS to buy for trucking, US and Canada.
I,vew been looking at the Garmin 256wt which has bluetooth also and the worldnav 7100.
Let me know what you have.

I have the pcmiler. I dont think there is a best GPS. Its a matter of taking the time to get to know all the quirks of the one you choose. I use the pcmiler because I can pick the routes if need be on the GPS map. That comes in handy for oversize loads

 

I used the Garmin Nuvi**** that was suppossed to be the best. There is a couple Nuvi. The one witht he highest number is the trucker model that was rated as the best. That thing tried to take me off a straight shot to my next turn. It tried to route me through a residential neighborhood. Tried to get me to go down a one lane dirt road, sent me down the wrong streets etc.

I just bought the Cobra. it won't see any testing until 4/9. I don't have a lap top for the truck yet.

 

Sometimes you are driving past a couple of truck stops and they don't even show up on the screen!

 

Thanks, the miler seems to be the most sought after. Any thoughts to where is the best place to buy one?
Thanks again
