nothing more entertaining then pulling up to the wrong gate 30 min before the first formation,you can really make allot of friends when that happens.

or when you have explosives placards on and you are following your directions on the QC. I had one kept saying you cannot come in here you are to near the houses and I kept saying what gate then???? He finally heard me and said oh we had to open a new gate the commercial gate is closed and this gate was down a dirt road and no signs.

What bugs me is what do they expect you to do when they put up no signs? He was frustrated I was frustrated and I Bob was trying to hide!

This Dash GPS has just been introduced and is all ready impossible to find in the truck stops. The cost is around $350.00

Finally a truck friendly GPS where you put in your dimensions and what you are hauling and then the GPS routes you. After listening to the interview last night between Kevin Rutherford and the vice president of marketing we could not wait to check one out. Well they are all ready sold out in the TA's due to the talk show.

This GPS has all of the classes of HazMat routing and even over size routing. Has the scale locations, rest areas, and cat scales. Even has the Wal-Marts and all of the POI. Is touch screen and a 4.3 inch screen. Great company and I bet a great product.

If anyone has found one can you let the rest of us know what you think? We are on the hunt for one.

Unit is awful, here are the reasons:
1. I am using it for 7 days and already found 2 addresses one in El Paso TX, other in Denver CO it couldn’t recognize (Garmin nuvi 220 did not have problems finding them),
2. I was driving on i-70 near Effingham IL, window popped up saying that I am driving on road that is restricted for semis – huge BS,
3. Tried to find some hotels in Niagara Falls NY – No way,
4. I have tried to connect it to my laptop do download some music – no way.
5. Tried to get some support from web site - nada
For $125.00 Garmin is doing great job comparing to this …

I will try to return my unit to Loves, where I bout it and get something else for that money.

Just get it returned quick as the company will only exchange it for another one. We have found everything you mention above except for the music to be true of the problems this unit has.

I keep hearing they have updated the newer units and they are better but you could not prove it by me.

We finally took it out of the truck and will use it with our home vehicle.
