This is a good thread.....lol. Since purchasing my 13.3' tall, 72' long rig and trailer, my worst fear of all time happened coming home from southern Ill this summer. The average Joe, Garmin GPS we used(as in, we will not be using it again) took us on a wrong turn in Indy, putting us in a residential neighborhood with roads rated for 11K, at midnight....lol. Everything worked out ok, but I was sweating razorblades for about an hour.
Since then I have found Garmin makes a GPS unit for truckers, basically the same unit as normal, but with highway only type software. Unless I find something better, I will be trying this unit out.
