A good system overall
The new Magellan series of Roadmate GPS systems are very nice. It is all touch screen, you can create a route with several stops and calculate which ones to go to first, second, and so on. The really nice parts are the highway exit ramps that show up on the screen, so you don't accidently get in the wrong lane. It speaks the street names, and is much more accurate than the older systems were. The 1340 has a 3" screen. Even better is the 1470 which features a 5" screen, it's easy to read and loud enough to be heard over the radio. My only complaint is the USB power cord. They are not the greatest quality. The usb connector end that connects to the GPS itself tends to pull out of the cord socket. A piece of scotch tape over it will keep it tightly held in place though. The prices are also much cheaper than the Garmin and Tom Toms. You can buy map updates and easily flash them onto the unit. I use them in commercial vehicles, and although not specifically designed for truck drivers, I've yet to have it send me down a road where trucks are forbidden. Compared to the very few brands that are designed with truck drivers in mind, it is worth the lower price and higher quality. It is bluetooth capable as well. If you are in the market for a good GPS with a reasonable price tag, this is the way to go!
