Greg, Sorry for long delay in response. We don't slow down that often and I have no aircard for this PC. Anyway, to your question. The Nav was telling me something like get off at exit such and such to get on say, I-90, when I was on I-90 at that time. The first time it did it, I fell for...

Update on the 7400: We have the Garmin 465 on the dash beside this unit and so far both of us have preferred navigating using the Nav unit. The display is so easy to see that navigating through Chicago, Detroit, etc. was a snap. It kept us in the correct lanes for merging and turning and...

Turtle, your experience and opinion are valuable to this thread and myself. I saw Dieselboss and some other evaluations of some of the other GPS units, and he did a great job. I could not find any evaluations of the Teletype Units in comparison with any of the others so I went to specs and...

Another note over the weekend I placed it next to the Magellan and went into Miami, Fl. The street detail and the restricted route emphasis was superb and far outshined the Magellans smaller screen. So, as you can see, I can sometimes say good things about this unit.

Mr. Friedman is supposed to call me after 13:00 today. I was supposed to hear from him last Friday and today is Tuesday.

Thanks again for all the feedback. I am still getting negative reviews on both the Garmin and this WorldNav. I have a friend who has the 465T and it has been locking up on him as well. I adv this WorldNav was doing the same until the software was updated and a bugfix noted and worked around...

Thanks for all the input. Went to Cobra web site. The 7750 cost $500 opposed to the $350 for the Nav. Both promise pretty much same operations. Who delivers the best on those promises, I really don't know. Before I return this I am trying to give it an honest evaluation. Took it out today...

Just got off the phone with another driver who had the Garmin 465T. He adv he had very similar issues with the routing etc. He adv he could not get any support on his unit so he just took it back. I am starting to think that all the trucker GPS units out there are more buggy than their...

Fellow truckers, do you see anything wrong with this? First they ship you a non-functional unit. Then they won't fix the unit. Then they charge you for shipping back and forth. Then they take 15% up front. Then they send you an RMA on Friday that is only good for 3 days! Note the email...

Called Teletype earlier today and they advised someone would be calling me. It is now the end of the day and no one has called. This has been their habit for days now. Called again this evening and they advised Ed, the man who was handling my case, was now gone home. I told them to set up my...

Was looking at that Cobra and saw this on amazon. Looks like Cobra has some of the same probs I am seeing with Teletype unit. 1 Star Rating "cobra gps 7700" 2010-05-02 - Reviewed By An Amazon User thought i was great very expensive and splurged...took me 3 weeks to figure out how to work...

Turtle--Preciate the kick back and the data. Yeah, my 4 yr old Magellan can find them as well and it has never had an update. Still have not heard from Teletype. Guess I will try to call them again today. This 7400 has a lot of bells and whistles, but, if it doesen't do basic routing then...

Thanks everyone for all the feedback. Sure helps in the decision process.

Guido--If what u say is true, then Cobra will corner this market. Yesterday I called Teletype twice and they advised they would call me back. No phone call. What do you bet I do not get one today either. I would like everyone out there with different GPS's to input these address's (1438...

Well folks, no word yet on the mapping situation. Unit still fails to map to three sites in three diff states. While waiting for Teletype to resolve that issue I fired up the FM transmitter. This is supposed to xmit the GPS voice over the trucks stereo, which would be a great advantage in a...
