    I had looked at the Garmin 20, but couldn't find it anywhere. Local truck stop had the Cobra @ half the price...so I went with it instead.

    Amazon sells the Garmin 20. They sell it for the same price Pilot is selling the Garmin 10. I own the Dieselboss one and it's okay. Use it for my personal vehicle. Hear a lot of good things about the Cobra.

    I've looked for anything other than the Garmin 10 in truckstops, I didn't even know there was a 20. What I have heard most about the 10 is that it takes shaky video quality. My truck shakes enough as it is, so I don't need the DOT officer getting motion sickness while he's trying to watch so I can prove my innocence!

    So you use the one from diesel boss in your personal vehicle? What do you drive that uses the 20?

    Like I said above, my truck can be a little shaky. After all it is a freight shaker and freight isn't the only thing it shakes…

    Yep, I'm going to be looking at that as soon as I get home as well as a few other things from Amazon. Since I mostly Drive at night, that is a huge plus for me.

    From what I remember of seeing of the tens performance at night, I was not too impressed.

    The DieselBoss is in my Toyota.

    The Garmin 20 is in our 2016 Freightliner Cascadia Evo. Currently at home but I'll get the Garmin tomorrow and upload a video of it in the day.

    Oh! That is perfect!

    I'm sure most of you know by now I drive through Atlanta, which often has a serious case of potholeitus. So stability is definitely needed. It doesn't have to be perfectly still, just enough to keep things so they can actually be seen and made out.

    GoPro hero 3+. I don't start the truck without it. It's got unlimited accessories so you can use it for your other hobbies like sky diving, scuba diving, or hot dog eating contests.

    I'll keep that in mind next time I jump from a perfectly good airplane, wearing scuba gear and eating a hot-dog! :D
