GPS For Trip Planning

[JCB]

I have a Garmin Quest GPS and it has a setting for "Trucks". I have not used this feature though but I do us the GPS ALLOT on my motorcycle for funeral escorting and it works great.

The biggest down side to the GQ is that you have to load the maps on it from your computer. It will hold 2 to 3 smaller state maps and 1 map if the state is a bigger one like CA or TX. Although the Garmin Quest 2 comes with all the detailed maps for the whole U.S. preloaded. Much better if your traveling all over.

I bought the co-pilot laptop truck 9 w/GPS and also bought Mircosoft Trips & Streets 2008 we have been checking it out on short trips and so far it i like ..copilot we let me upgrade within the 90 days for laptop 10 when its ready both are running fine on vista also..most of these drivers have more experience with these programs then i do ...take the good with the bad ...everything to make life easier when i head out will work for me..i will also double check routes with paper map ...

i didn't really care for copilot much . i have have found it to be wrong and missing addresses . Right now i got copilot ,delorme 08 And ms streets& trips on my lappy. When I had the lcd screen go on it I when out and got a MIO c230 gps for $160 bucks . Found a site with a way to unlock it . Now it does a lot more.

Never rely on you gps software alone . Plan your route with a atlas .
