I've tried a truck/RV routing GPS with the Nuvi 465 and hated it. I couldn't use the truck/RV settings because it wouldn't allow me to keep a route that I worked out on Basecamp, a total PIA. It would take a perfectly good route and mess it up because at some point there was a "No Trucks" street or area.
I just bought the Nuvi 2539 which looks like it will work very well. I can store 100 routes and the spoken navigation is pretty cool. It no longer just says "Turn left on Main street", now it will say "Turn left on Main street at the end of this street". It also is much quicker to alert you to turns and gives you more warning. I like it so far. I got the 5 inch because I feel the 7 inch takes up too much space and blocks too much of the windshield.
I don't have a smart phone so can't comment on any of the apps available for them. But I do feel that sometimes a stand alone device works best: "Jack of all trades, master of none."
