Amazon Customer Review:
Compared to my previous Garmin, here’s what I’ve found
Pros:
I agree with another reviewer that the search functions are much better. You can find points of interest all kinds of ways, even Walmart’s and whether or not they allow truck parking. I also agree that the mapping for trucks is definitely better in my experience than my Garmin, and that is what I care about the most. The weather, construction along the route and the green dashboard I like lot. I leave it on the dashboard most of the time. Great screen, and find it pretty logical and easy to use. There is a big manual I could download, but I haven’t bothered.
Cons:
Doesn’t include traffic, but I found I didn’t use the Garmin traffic much anyway, since it didn’t work except when I was close to cities. And once I was in the city, I wasn’t going to get off the Interstate and drive on local streets in a truck.
