So my GPS has gotten me lost several times this week and routed me ways that don't even remotely make sense. Like right now on I64 in Virginia the thing doesn't recognize the road as existing. I wasted $150 on this piece of crap product. It doesn't make sense

That's got to be VERY frustrating in a semi. I wanted to throw my Garmin out the window a 1/2 dozen times. And I'm a Garmin advocate. LOL!

Do you have an atlas? If not, get one and double check what the gps says.

Right now I'm ON I64 trying to go to Dayton Ohio. It's wanting me to either go down to Knoxville Tennessee or up to almost Washington! Wtf apparently I missed when interstates 64 75 77 and 79 disaFREAKINGppeared from the earth because I can go a number of ways with them that cuts hours off. I should've bought the Garmin it's what I had in my van because this rand McNally isn't worth rest area toilet paper

I always compare the route with what my iPhone says in case it does some stupidness like this but it's every time I go anywhere it does this so its router is broken.


And incase anyone says change my settings I have multiple times and it does the exact same

I do I have the one they sell at truck stops the rand McNally 2016 edition. If I hadn't compared routes I'd have somehow turn 336 loaded miles into 649 travelled miles

I checked both had tolls it's only like a $1 each way but that's so dumb.

Forreal Knoxville wtf!?!?!? That's insane

Check your GPS settings. You might have certain preferences set up , like avoid toll roads, prefer interstates, or avoid unpaved roads, etc.

Have you updated the maps and software on line?

 

[Worn Out Manager]

Are you concerned with long runs driving straight through with no sleep? Worried about the potential dangers and risks involved? Need not worry any longer. I have created the most effective, long-lasting, and healthy proprietary blend of liquid IV drip. It is full of vitamins and nutrients. Do you find yourself falling asleep at the wheel ? does the road start to look blurry? Worry we no longer. For today only I will provide you the 500 milliliter bag, stint, mounting hardware,and tubing. In addition you get a one month supply of my own proprietary blend of getty up and go, all for the low low price $ 45.95.

But, is it low carb, sugar free?

I have and I changed them all several times but just never would route me thru 64,77,79 until I finally told it to take me where averitt wants me to fuel which is the pilot in nitro WV. Now it acknowledges those roads exist lol

What I didn't know when I bought this one is it does not have map updates. The software might I don't honestly know but I might be able to pay for an update which I'm willing to do if that fixes the issues and keeps me from having to buy another GPS. But if I do buy another one in going back Garmin

I don't wanna ruin the environment with the POS lol. Mother Nature doesn't deserve this thing in her presents. Might hawk it at a truck stop one night to someone for $50 if I can tho let t be someone else's problem

Software updates are free the map updates are the ones that cost. I've used both personally I like the rand better.

Nothing like running a "mini" for the mini rate, and finding out the load paid almost 3 times what I made, and it wasn't like it went thru a broker, was a direct customer. I found OVM'S nickle...

 

[wayneygogo]

Some GPS manufacturers take kickbacks from privately-held roads, and toll road authorities. They will continuously reroute you to a toll road. I would not ever make an electronic purchase at any truck stop for that matter no Cb no GPS. No TV or VCR antennas dishes wiring
