Which GPS should I get?

Hello drivers. Can anyone recommend a GPS that is best for truck only routes, low clearances, address's etc.? I have never used a GPS, have always used my truckers atlas, or paper maps. So something not too complicated would be nice too. Thanks.

 

Stick with a map or go get the rand mcnally one I am pleased with mine

 

I would recommend the GARMIN 560 models.

I use this one. It works well. easy to use and has some nice features.

As with any GPS unit, it will have some quirks that you will need to learn and get used to.

 

no no, read my thread first

 

Garmin hands down if you want a standalone unit if you want bells and whistles.
Free Google Navigation if you have an Android phone.

I have both (returned Rand McNally TMD700) and they complement each other very nicely.

 

Thanks drivers.

 

TND 710 - remember that all electronics on dash board of trucks take a beating. Make sure power cords are run so they are not pulling at connection. Seems small thing but 100's of thousands of miles bouncing has an effect.

 

Honestly, stick with a road atlas. Don't rely on GPS's for trip planning, use them for redundancy only. I personally used a Nuvi 1300 for the last year and have not had a issue with it.

This is true. My Garmin took a dump this week. So I got the 510 today and see what happens. The Garmin didn't even make it to 6 months. Anything that goes into a truck has to be able to take a pounding.
