And added bonus high crime areas

It does all the same stuff just smaller screen. am encouraged by the readers comments about the Garmin Pricey though at 1000. 00 plus. A year and half has passed and still no real solutions for truckers. It seams that the new systems are geared to be full enterment packages. would like to comment on the Garmin Nuvi since own and use one. While it is wonderful device and love using it, it is not the GPS holy grail for truckers. Im not sure about Hazmat. They also make unit for 1299. 00 but didnt even look at this one.

Ill check back after buy one and use it for couple weeks.

Some of the things that im looking for are alt route if road is closed or backed up. And added bonus high crime areas and automatic rerouting of trucks to ensure that truckers avoid these areas. Ive been using ALK Technologies program, Copilot Truck Laptop 9 for several months and have to say that my biggest problems with the program are the inflexible forewarning distances, inaccurate truck routes, unwanted checkpoint notifications They also offer Worldnave 7 unit for 599. 00 and 3. 5 system for 399. 00.

As well dead end streets would be helpful, as well lot of routes have absolutely no road signs of any kind to let you know if you are on course, or the road have local name but not the name that appears on your gps mapping which can confuse you when suddenly the road name changes and doesnt match the gps mapping some land marks would be helpful here. It seams that the new systems are geared to be full enterment packages. Pricey though at 1000. 00 plus. A year and half has passed and still no real solutions for truckers.

am encouraged by the readers comments about the Garmin Strangely, have also had it try to steer me around route that know to be good truckable route but if switch to Automobile mode it will then bring me in on that route. I believe Garmin is coming out with new model called the 880? and it has larger screen and the ability to type exits and satelite veiw of the the area, this would allow them better visual of exits especially in large citing with multiple interchanges. It does all the same stuff just smaller screen.
