Knock on wood my little garmin hasn't let me down. Even through the Bronx and chicago. Got it when I first started driving and have ran about 150k with it. Other than construction areas where an exit or street is blocked, or restricted to 8 ft wide it's pretty spot on

OK. I have first-hand experience with the Garmin DEZL OTR 700. Bottom line impression...how do I say this nicely "Piossa De ####". Sure, she's Pretty, all decked out in her Garmin finery, pretty screen, all smilin' at ya sayin' "Where to"....So I throw my suave Voice Commands at her and she say "Que?" seems she doesn't understand my savoir f'aire, so I drop some more smooth vocal goodness at her, I says "Find Truck Stops" and she counter's in the sweet sexy voice of hers "Here's the results I found for Rock Shops" this went on in several convolutions and we just never seemed to be able to be singing the same song, ya know? Took me right past one of my saved locations because I was dumb enough to let her tell me where to go. Re-routed me to a place that I had saved. Stupid thing is, I had the Di-rections all nice and copied down in my hand notebook....on paper.....wrote 'em myself....with a pen (not a crayon this time). but NO, I had to go and listen to her and drove right past the turn and over the bridge into another state. Oh Garmin! Why you do this to me, Garmin?? So lemme breakidonfoya: Nope. Didn't have a good experience. Trucker Path and Google Maps and the Atlas saved me from the sweet siren song that Garmin was singing, trying to lead me to turn into the ocean and drown (See tales of Brave Ulysses) with 50,000 pounds o' something on my back. Pretty much lead me to the conclusion that we would have to part ways, we're just no good for each other. Perhaps she'll find true love with another.....
(Plus I played a SaWEET 12-string today, hmm, same price as the Garmin and I've always wanted one....what to do, what to do)
Thanks for listening to my psychotic ramblings,
and they called him TomBownatedogg323, DieselDisciple and tarmadilo Thank this.
