NoDirectionHome Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 So the question is CoPilot... RV version or Truck version?

Mark and Dale Bruss Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 The RV Version covers the Height, 13'6" but it limited to weight. When we had the Volvo, we used the Truck version. With the Bounder we use the RV version.

Jim & Wilma Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 We use the Truck version and it’s our primary routing tool. We often compare routes with the Garmen Desl but almost always keep it in map mode.

GeorgiaHybrid Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 I am running copilot professional and it has worked as well or better than any other GPS that we have used. It is closer in how it works to the truck version than the RV but either one should work. 2017 Kenworth T6802015 DRV 38RSSA Elite Suites2016 Smart Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from what I could determine, the development of the Laptop version for RVs is halted but the Truck version is still being maintained. I used the laptop version until the laptop died. Two tablets were less than a new laptop.

jkoenig24 Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 I believe the RV Copilot version also has a length limit as well as the weight limit (26,000#). Copilot Truck will NOT allow me to specify propane; only "Hazardous Gasses"'. old I have a 5" Garmin dezl and two Rand McNally units (old RM RVND7710 and, installed as OEM software in my rig's infotainment system, RM 720. Rand McNally is, in my opinion, the worst of the GPS lot. Coplot and Garmin dezl are my preferred GPS solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bags Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 I am running copilot truck on my lap top. Installed about 4 months ago. Really buggy but they keep promising me fixes. I needed new maps which are good but just a chore to massage it to find sats. The previous 8 year old version was flawless. I bought it from diesel boss and they willing provide phone support. good place to buy. they also have all kinds of HDT truck stuff. I would recommend them.

NoDirectionHome Posted September 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 I don't see where CoPilot is offered for Truck or RV on a laptop.

Mark and Dale Bruss Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 I found this :https://www.dieselboss.com/Travrout/cptruck.htm It looks like the Truck Laptop version has come to an end like the RV Laptop version. I switched from Laptop to Android when the laptop died. The products are very similar. The android version is 2/3 the price of the Laptop version but it looks like it is an annual fee now, or maybe just on IOS. I would get a tablet and run CoPilot android. You don't need a GPS puck with a tablet.

Mark and Dale Bruss Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 On the laptop, I used a US Globalsat BR_353 puck which was much better than the original LT20 from Delorme. I used a software shim called GPSGate Splitter from a outfit called Franson Technology, now called GPSGate. I change the BR-353 into ports that is was easier for CoPilot to find. I also could connnect another program like Streets & Trips at the same time to the BR-353.
