atlas trucking maps-r-us

I use rand mcnally trip maker. it works well for me

 

Thanks Fred (I guess its Fred)

 

Microsoft streets and trips (No GPS) and a trucking atlas. they have worked wanders for me. i also have a small GPS in my truck is very accurate (garmin).

 

None of the mapping programs are 100% accurate. I use MS Streets & Trips 2007, CoPilot Truck 9 and have used Delorme Street Atlas 2006.

My normal one is CoPilot for routing purposes. I also use Google Maps to locate destinations as well.

 

I use my motor carriers road atlas and MS Streets and Trips and rarely have a problem. I've even been using google earth lately to see if there might be someplace to park near the customer if I'm going to arrive the night before. 8) 8)

 

Isn't that a really nice way to do it (Google Earth or Google Maps)? I love it.

 

Yes, it is nice. I also like being someplace and looking up what's nearby. For instance, I was at our terminal in Wilsonville,OR. So I googled " food wilsonville oregon" and bring up the map showing all the food places where I am. So I went down the street to this place I would have never know was there. One of those Mongolian buffet deals. I also wanted to get to a Best Buy for some satellite radio stuff so I googled that too and bam the map pops up and found one just a few miles away. Same thing for movie theatres or anything else for that matter. I love having a computer in the truck!!!

As for the original topic a, Rand Mcnally Motor Carriers Road Atlas is a must for any driver. 8) 8)
