Phone as gps
I am looking for an app that we can use as out gps. I want to put in the truck and trailer combo so it does not send us down roads we would not fit. I know there are units we can get, was wondering...

Unless things have changed, a phone GPS uses the cel phone towers. An actual GPS uses the signals from a minimum of 3 satellites. Cloud cover not withstanding a for real GPS is way t go, and even then, some common sense needs to applied.
You can use Co-Pilot or Navigon (I've used both and they are loaded on my iPhone) or any number of apps that let you download the maps in advance. Even Google Maps lets you download maps in advance but it's a bit tricky.
Also, Waze caches the map when you first start a trip so as long as you are connected at the start of a trip, you should be good.
