I think it would be good to have the miles by state for IFTA without having to write down the mileage every time I cross a state line. I would like to get some feedback from those who have purchased a GPS and to see what you like or dislike about your purchase.
I have a Garmin Nuvii. It was "free". A "bd" gift in 07. I used it for OTR, but ignored a lot of the routes it would toss at me......simply because Garmin defaults to "fastest routing at 70 mph", and I would usually take the most direct route...which sometimes means..."through the woods". I like it because when you just have it on simply for "orientation" it displays upcoming intersections, and if you pull it back far enough on the "look forward", it lays out city streets by grid as well.
