What about Co-pilot 9 for trucks, or the Garmin GPS 7200? Both say they are for trucks. Any experiences out there with these?

None of the Garmin units are truck specific. They have a truck setting but it's not true truck routing. Siemens-VDO announced a standalone GPS unit for trucks last year but I haven't seen anything else about it.

As for CoPilot Truck - I love it. I've had mine for a little over a year now. Remember though - you CANNOT rely on it 100%.

Thanks Malaki, I have Co-pilot 10 for our RV, so might have to get the truck software. I just have had some instances where it wanted me to exit, and get right back on the hiway some. Not sure what that was all about.

If you are looking for specific directions to shippers and receivers... there used to be a book that was printed and advertised that it had the directions to over 10,000 businesses that shipped/received by truck.

I can't remember the name of it, but it was often advertised in the Trucker's News and other publications.
