Can anyone recommend a GPS for the Bigger rigs for camping?

Been thinking about buying a GPS that might be more set up fro Truck drivers or large RV's, that would have info that actually helps us vs the GPS units made for people in compact cars. I'm thinkin...

You can use the POI Factory with any Garmin GPS and get the alerts you wish without limiting yourself to a truck GPS. My experience with a truck/RV GPS, the Garmin Nuvi 465T, was less than stellar. It simply would not allow me to plan a route that traveled roads that did not allow truck traffic. That was a real pain.

Now I have a standard Garmin Nuvi 2539 and I put the alerts in it I want and have no travel restrictions that I don't choose to have.
