Question for the truckers on GPS...

What is a decent, not too expensive GPS with truck routing ? I see that Garmin has the 465T for around $350 but I'm looking for something a little less expensive. Thanks, Nick.

most of the drivers down here that pull for us at Pace American use the tom tom.I don't know anything about the gps systems and witch is the best just what they said they run.We got a tom tom that we run in our trucks I will talk with the sales manager tomorrow he uses it the most.

Get you a TOM TOM I have had 2 Garmins and they both Crapped out within 4 months...... and I payed way more than that for them...My TomTom has worked flawless for well over a year...... easy to program also.....

I can't help you out there, and my neighbor is a trucker Garmin tool my dad to a dead end once in Florida that's all I know about any of them really

I have never used a Tom Tom but we have gone through 3 Garmins so I wouldn't recommend a Garmin.

I have a Magellan that I paid under $200 for at Best Buy. I've never updated the maps and it's worked fine all over the USA.

Rand McNally has a truck specific gps and there is one other I can't remember right now. You hear good and bad about them but most truckers I have talked with use Garmin. I have been using my BlackBerry for a few weeks now and it seems to work pretty well.

I wound up getting a Garmin 255WT on sale for $79.95 at Best Buy. They usually go for around $169. So far it works good. Time will tell. Thanks again for all the replies. Nick.

I have found that the navagation systems that come with the automobiles or Alpine, Clarion, Kenwood are much better than the tomtom, Garmin type systems. Plus you can update the indash systems.
