What is a good GPS to use when you travel with a FW.Free app would be good.Thanks

FW, TT, or Motor Home ... Google Maps, Bing Maps.We still use our TomTom, there are times our SmartPhone (Bing and Google) come in handy, and then we ALWAYS still rely on paper maps.TomTom will always get you there, but whoever did the programming on that sure had a warped sense of humor. Fastest or shortest route will take you off a block from the main route and then put you right back on. I suppose if you drew a straight line from point A to point B it would make sense. That's why multiple devices come in real handy, and still ... nothing beats paper.

I have one of the garmins.Get the large screen! A lot easier to see when driving. This was a big deal for me.Also get the "sand bag" dash mount. Easy for wife to program and hand back to me.Also it has free updates.Pat

I use a Garmin Nuvi 2539. I have loaded it with my personal preferences from the POI factory, and have the low clearances added also. Works very well for me. I use BaseCamp for uploading a route to the GPS. Works a treat.

I use Google Maps to plot the course then I get out the Motor Carrier's Atlas to ensure the route is 18-wheeler friendly.
