Worldnav 3300 Vs. Co-pilot Laptop... Any actual users?
 
I think I have it narrowed down to these two products. Heres two links to the exact products http://alk.com/copilot/truck-laptop.asp and http://www.teletype.com/Merchant2/me..._Code=WorldNav I like these two because they seem to cover all the bases, including Hazmat routes which I will be using. I do own a laptop so I see some money savings there, but Id kind of like to not use that as a choosing device.

Bottom line which one is better? Any fellow members run these exacts products, and can give me a testimonial? Are there better versions of each product?

Im sure Ill have more questions once I start getting feedback from you guys/gals. Thanks much!

I use CoPilot Truck v9. The new one out is v11, but it's absolute garbage. ALK is working on a rewrite of the program for the next version.

As far as the routing, use it only as a suggested route, even with all truck options turned on. It can and will get you into trouble if you even think about running a route without verifying it first.

Sorry for the wrong forum post.

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it. I plan on matching the GPS route with an atlas before I do the run to make sure its atleast close. My map reading skills blow, basically want to use it as another tool.
