GPS Geez People School me
After 2 weeks of daily research, I've come to the conclusion (almost a info concussion) that most if not all GPS are not worth the $ paid for them. Every time I read a review of a new, somewhat new or...

How tall is your Rig? Hit a service station canopy??
I HAD a Garmin...2 goof ups (wrong directions that did NOT agree with paper map) I muffed her and stuck her in a bag never to come out again.
Besides I couldn't stand the sarcastic 'Recalculating' when I deviated from route.
Atlas/paper maps..........
7 yrs FT secondary/back roads and they got us where we wanted to go with no issues.
As for 'height'
PAY Attention----Look UP
For me the advantage of the GPS is local maps. There is no way I could carry county & town road level maps for everywhere I travel. I don't know what atlas you are using, but mine leaves out lots of the smaller roads. I do wish the GPS makers would get together with the 911 people & use the same road names. Out county switched all the road signs to the 911 names, while Garmin uses the old ones. Makes it difficult to tell who is who when there are a bunch of intersections.
I'd never depend on any GPS for heights or weights. It is far too easy for things to change before the software updates them.
