I've just installed a program called ProMiles on my computer. It provides routing by your choice of practical (default), shortest, interstate and national network routes. It lets you tell it about your truck weight, axles, length etc. so it knows what restrictions apply to your unit. On toll roads it tells you the toll amount. I have not confirmed that yet as I can't remember the toll amount in any specific place but you at least know where you will have to pay tolls and probably the correct amount. It updates fuel prices each time you tell it to and will notify you when you should be about due for a fuel stop. It does a ton of things the Copilot doesn't do and it uses the same mapset at the Tom Tom GPS units so it should recognize almost any address you put into it. It uses the same GPS puck as Copilot so you don't have to spend money on a new puck. The only thing it doesn't do, but will in about 60-90 days at the next update, is talk to you while you drive. You have to look at the map to get the next turn direction until that update comes out. I hope to be back on the road in a couple of days and will test it real world but have to say that messing with it at the kitchen table it looks like a HUGE improvement.
