geodog Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 I am satisfied with my Garmin DEZL 760. It has lots of truck related options. ShortyO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we are no longer RVing Dave says he would be wiling to sell it for $100. We have regularly updated the maps so the LMT is current.

jenandjon Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Rand McNally truckers atlas. It lists every length restricted road and low bridge in the US, Canada and Mexico. Never loses signal and never goes dead.

Has anyone used the Sygic rv app? I tried the regular nav years ago and thought it was a little clunky. The problem with using the atlas "in case of emergency" is that the pages all end up looking like Mexico. (don't get you panties in a wad, It's funny and you know it) Quote Click For Full-Size Image.

rickeieio Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Paper maps are my choice for navigating, but as much as I hate to admit it, a gps is nice to show you what lanes to occupy in a strange city. Thar said, we did 15 weeks and 22 states on the road in the past 12 months, and never got out the RM 7720 gps. We do have an iPad........

beemergary Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Rand McNally and google maps. Can use satelite and its like flying a helicopter. Use the satelite for truck stops for room to park out back and to let dog do his business. Draw my own maps on paper after looking at google maps.

noteven Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 I’m easily amused so sometimes I set my old Garmin deezl sumpin sumpin on “heavy haul” mode... 13ft wide, 15ft high, 245,000lbs, 68ft kingpin to rear axle, and then head up some canyon road with bridges and the language in not inglish... it gets quite frantic.

solo318 Posted December 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 You guys are awesome. Maybe not very helpful but funny as heck. I would wager that if you took away a college kid's cell phone and gave him a map, He would use all the napkins at the nearest Starbucks crying his eyes out because he's lost. That being said, knowing what lane you need to be in ahead of time doesn't show up on a road atlas. Traffic reports don't show up either. Quote Click For Full-Size Image.

noteven Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Sometimes I use all 3 - paper map to see where the road goes, googlemap because it assumes the pilot wants to take a different route so adapts quickly and doesn’t natter, quickly calculates distance and route options, and shows traffic snarls, etc and Garmin because sometimes there is no cell service where I’m at at it doesn’t advertise at me.
