Machine constantly tells you to go the wrong way. You must have a general idea of where you need to go. Traffic warnings are the best feature. For a trucker GPS you would think it would give you location of weight stations.

While I agree this may be the best truck gps out their currently that by no means its a great or even a very good unit.
Pros:
Give me a minute im still thinking of something…
yea I got nothin……
Well Garmin maps for life maby.
Cons:
Read other reviews I have not listed things that others have already listed such as the speed and weigh station and rest area issues, PLUS.
NO miles to destination
NO general destination arrow pointing to the direction of your stop.
NO accurate routing.
In one day it told me I was on a truck restricted road when I CLEARLY WAS NOT.
In tha same day it tried to tell me to turn onto a 5 ton weight restricted road and told me the road ahead had a weight rating to low for the truck I was in (the road in question was a main road I travel constantly and also goes through an industrial park full of trucks!
Keep in mind im a local driver in the Chicagoland area, these oversights and more was discovered in one 1 night of driving imagin how many errors are in the whole country, millions?
NO THANKS
For $455.00 you would think Id be given accurate directions and a h*nd job on the way to the delivery but no…
MABY? the best unit out their but what does that mean?

Drivers,
I couldn’t wait for this “trucker specific” navigation unit to hit the shelves. I bought it the first day it came out, and it’s the most wasted $500 I have ever spent. Do yourself a favor, don’t buy this unit. You can get the same information with a much cheeper unit. This thing is very user unfriendly. The truck stop finder is awful. It’s like pulling teeth to find a major truck stop like a TA, Petro, Pilot, Love’s or Flying J. The warnings on this thing are the most annoying thing since “fingers on a chalk board”! The sharp curve warnings are a joke and VERY uneccessary, the scale warnings give you both sides of the highway, even though it is supposed to know which direction you’re traveling, and the worthless unit doesn’t even allow the option to turn these warnings off. I could go on and on about the waste of my hard earned money this new “navigation” unit is, but I have wasted enough on this thing already. I just hope that Garmin does something to make it right with the customers that have spent a fortune on this piece of junk and allow free software downloads of updated USEFULL features that will make this unit a true “trucker specific” navigation system and worth the money that they charge for a unit that doesn’t even come close to what I was hoping it would be.

This unit is very nice and user friendly. however it alerts me of non existent weigh stations or alerts me long after the fact. it won’t find truck washes en route from the built in features. The speaker is also very silent. i give it a three out of five star rating

Used for 25 days and return it,.
Need a strong speaker, bigger screen.
Advised don’t go away , you have to manually press ok.
PA Turnpike (70 & 76) where they run together!! for this one are two roads,(1 next to the other). Not a problem in car mode.
We still need Pause option on gps., We need to fuel, breaks, restrooms..etc. but gps keep….turn around , and you have to cancel o shut it off.
Get the Street Pilot 7200 and happy with it. Not for 18 wheelers but great for everithing else.
My two cents.
