Truck GPS Recommendations

[onefarmer]

I have a Garmin Dezl OTR710. it takes your length and weight and plans the route. it is 90% good. I still research the route it wants to use. Sometimes with my rig it just doesnt go where it thinks we can turn. LOL

Mark,

I use a Garmin truck specific unit too. I concur with Lenny about the 90%. Having the correct street address for race track is best. Just typing in the name of track will not get you to the racer's gate 100%. One track we now go to regularly had us in a field behind the track, the 1st time we programmed the GPS.

Our rig is 80' long so we are about 5'-10' longer than a std OTR tractor/trailer, no short cuts possible.

Thanks Gentlemen!

I agree on the turning lol

This is good conversation as I?m sure most of us have found ourselves in a difficult position with the miles we run.

I have a pretty good comfort zone for Division 1 tracks (and the routes in and out) but as I explore further it?s probably good to have a solid purpose intended GPS

I see others here looking for recommendations on how to travel to locations with which they are not familiar.

Probably a great idea even with a specialty GPS.

I use a free app called TruckMap and it works good for me.
