My team partner and I used to run with the Cobra 2500, then when it started routing us down ways a truck cannot go, we started looking for other options. I don't use the laptop like other drivers, preferring just the small 5" on my dash, and I drive for Schneider who....I dunno who does their directions but they suck in every way, shape, and form.
Then we met another team who had a GPS, and we started talking. The Garmin C330 for 250 bucks, we bought one and have never regretted it. Fast, accurate, and with lots of goodies in it to make it worth the price.
But the key selling point to this GPS system, the thing that makes it work better than any other GPS for us --
Truck setting. You can modify your vehicle for specialized routing, and one option is a truck. It doesn't have low clearances in the system, but it has most if not all of the restricted routes. To this day we still check ahead to make sure it's on the right path and so we don't get caught in any danger...but it never fails. Just keeps us on the road, going where we need to go.
I highly recommend the Garmin C330. Wal-Mart for 250 bucks. Can't beat it!
