I know you can select car or truck as your vehicle, will use roads that car area allowed on and not trucks. But its software is design for trucks, weight stations, roads for trucks. Like it for trucking use.

It has a car setting on it and works great to get you to your destination. I've yet to have it not take me where I want to go but, as with every GPS it will take you the long way every now and then

Hi, so far I have used it only once during ma vacation in april. However, i can't remember that there are options in setup menu for trucks. You may download the user manual at Magellan's website www.magellangps.com . Greetings from Germany, Peter

Hey Larry~you sure can, like if you want to use your smartphone's GPS? Works great for that feature. This fits in the "AC vent of your vehicle". Hope this helps in your decision making process ;)

No this product won't work in the car unless you have a device that give wifi. This product will work in a hotel or a restaurant to reach wifi off of.

No good! It does not work even car to car! Don't buy!! If you like I will sell you mine for $25.00.

I move mine between vehicles. It works in all my Jeeps, my Ford truck, and my work vehicles Ford transit connect. I like VW's but at close to seven feet tall they don't fit me. I can't give a positive anwer, but I bet it will. I'm asked everyday where I got It and I freely tell anyone who asks.

I tried it a couple of times to my normal runs into NYC and was disappointed. The worst part is that it shut down on me while on a truck route that it did not consider a truck route. It may be the case that it works well elsewhere. But for NYC at least I would be very leary to rely on it.

It works with any vehicle. There is a camper mode and a car/truck mode. The only problem I have is the WiFi. I have a hard time connecting to a hotspot or WiFi. The options offered on the GPS is excellent. Rand McNally has a good product here.

Yes it tells you what roads u can and can't go on with ur truck. U can switch it from car to truck or vise versa. U can pick ur own alerts and set it up the way u want. But the answer to ur question is yes. It gives u the best route without takin u on roads or bridges that trucks can't go on. But I always double check my routes anyway to be safe. Hope this helps.

Which is the correct way to route it? It's rather annoying to test and find out since the drive cycle takes 150 miles to complete.

Hey I bought this for my husband chevy truck. It plays through ipod bluetooth and through his phone bluetooth. He loves it. He was also able to put all his music on a thumb drive with videos and hook it through the ubs port connector and plays his music that way as well. Hope this help with your decision on buying this item. The only concern was he need at a connector to back for his back speakers to play. And it did not come with the gps but it ask you if you want to purchase one at the time of buy we did see that till after we purchase it. But it fit perfect with the wires and all. He owns a 2010 Chev Silverado. He likes for price. The original was double that price. :)

Yes, the device can be set to truck or automobile. If set to automobile then all the trucking features will be turned off and it will be like any other automobike gps.

I bought it to use in my RV, which is a class C because I work via internet. I put the antenna on the window over the cab (suction cup) and it has worked very well (where there is a signal) when driving or dry camping in areas like AZ, UT, Eastern OR & WA, MT, WY, SD, NE, KS, TN, Texas, LA, MS & AL. I use Verizon Mifi as my ATT cell is useless except in metro areas. I also use in in the toad when exploring, but then it goes on the roof. I'm off the beaten path quite a bit and very pleased with it. It's fun to do a comparison of "bars" with & without the booster at various locations. Would buy it again.

your garmin can be programmed as a car or truck or rv you can build your profile while traveling to have features like traffic, poi's, your gps will also log driving hours and fuel consumption just fun things to play with if traveling in a car. I use it for a 65 foot truck and trailer that hauls cars, I honestly other than user error the garmin has been super dependable. and it has bluetooth that works in a quiet car phenomenally, and it is also voice activated. hope this helps\

You won't get traffic updates with it. You have to use a Garmin adapter for that. I found out the hard way. Will it power both? IDK, but it only has one connector.

Yes. It will work great running from the vehicle lighter receptacle and works with CDs also MP3 formats. We've had ours for several years and its still running great.
