the miles tracking is great. that i LOVE. if you want i can snap a few pics or the "logs and timer screens". it also seems that its a bit off by 200 ft or so. something that really bugs me is that you can show up at the stop.. it says its on the right.. its on the left. i just got a new iphone4s. its nice, i love the phone but i do miss google maps on my android.
That would be great, firebird. I usually use mapquest for directions if I can't get in touch with the shipper or consignee. I find the miles to be pretty close, but it is awkward when it comes to the state mileage.

RIOTS IN STREETS ALL OVER THE WORLD! I knew something was up. :rofl: I have an old Garmin 660. I wouldn't be much help to you as far the newer models. I'll tell you this they are a good tool but not an end all be all. I still call for directions and look at my map.

On the phone market, check out CoPilot Live (not the truck version - I have the RV version on my phone and it does a pretty good job). The price is fairly reasonable, if I remember. I think I paid something like $4.99 for it. Of course, the truck version will cost more, but you can try the car/rv version just to see if you like the interface on it.

I've had a GPS in the truck for 4 years now. It's just a regular car unit, and I don't use it for trip planning at all- however it's really useful in the dark, or heavy rain or snow or what have you, as well as in the city, so you know what streets are coming up before you get to them. I also like the speedometer feature- i have the GPS mounted low in the center of my windshield, so rather than looking down to check my speed, I can just move my eyes slightly to the right and down a bit and there it is.
