The unit will work but the voice part is very bad, it has a hard time understanding what you say or ask, I tried 4 units and had the same problem, and took them all back or I sent them back to the stores and back to the place on the internet CO. The Voice activation is very very bad.

It can be for any vehicle. I use it in my car and the large screen is great for directions and it shows you what lanes you should be driving. It also shows what the speed limit is and how fast you are going. You can also program it to give an alarm when you are over the speed limit and program the speed over the limit to give the alarm.

It will work in a truck. I had it in mine. I just didn't like the GPS, and returned it.

Out of the box it's for trucks...YES, but it also has a car setting if you want to switch it sometimes.

do not buy a cobra truckers gps, coming from a trucker that did, it was a big mistake and i sent it back after a couple weeks, it sends you way out of the way of standard truck routes and says roads that are not restricted are (like interstate hwys and know us hwys) also they do not route you around the bad spots or low bridges they tell you once you are upon them and it's to late to exit to another route and you have to back out or what ever happens!!! DON'T BUY A COBRA TRUCKERS GPS!!!!!!!!

I bought the refurbished one and it works great , I bought it for perhaps the dumbest truckdriver in the world and he was able to figure it out and it got him to every place he needed to be except a military base , which we found out afterwards will not show up on a GPS unit for security reasons..

To my knowledge, this is still the most current - and best - GPS Garmin produces for most consumers. Those of us wanting the 3597LMTHD had to wait until it's release in May of this year, following our pre-order of same. I believe there is a new "Big Rig" device out there, customized for over-road truck drivers. I've seen nothing else more current from Garmin. Hope this satisfactorily answers your question.

Yes. It comes with a map function that is the same as GPS, and you can also get several free GPS apps.

Yes the BC camera is wireless(sends signal to navigator's receiver mount up to 45ft, further with extension cable), There has to be a power source such as your back-up lights so that every time you switch to reverse the camera picks up your rear area pathway. The camera works alongside Nuvi 2798LMT, RV 760LMT and dezl 760LMT. There is no reason why your unit should not work on your truck. If in doubt check with a Garmin tech.

Yes you can. There are several setting you can choose from. I have the truck showing on my gps. I have liked this garmin better then any of the other gps I have had in the past and they have all been garmin's.

No, the GPS receiver is only for logging your position. It is not a navigation system.

Yes it shows rest area's and truck stops as well as food and I think it also shows motels only real complaint and its true of all GPS units the updates are always on the rest area's truck stops and food not always on the roads your planning to travel on it's kind of an irritation since your charged for updates of 89.00 on basically a yearly basis I wish all gps units would work with google as their road maps are more up to date than anyone else

No. It's wifi capable though. However I do not recommend this GPS for many reasons. I wouldn't pay more than $200 for it if you could find one that cheap. I have this product and I am very disappointed. Good luck.

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 think you have to have an antenna for traffic reception. I'm looking for one now. If you can get the traffic report it will then. a Garmin will reroute you if you take a different course. the big ones are actually made for trucks, but to us that means they won't tell you to U turn 486 times because a truck can't. 1 advantage.

I believe this is proprietary. From what I've experienced, it ties to the GPS software itself to supply the information. Best I can give you.

It's not a GPS. If you mean for an AM/FM/WB location, just as soon as the signal is clean enough. For the WB, if you mean how far away of a signal can you get, I'm not sure.

Yes. However, the unit has a couple of quirks. 1) It works reasonably well when fully charged prior to use. Otherwise if will either not work or have a lot of intermittent bad pics on the monitor 2) The actual picture is very wide angle, and is not useful until you get within 8 to 12 feet from the trailer hookup. When positioned above the ball hitch on truck tail gate, one is able to accurately hook up easily when in range.

I'm a trucker, and use the PC Miler Navigator. Tell your Dad this GPS is made for truckers altho not perfect. I've used it for 2 years now and it's only had me on a road once that was posted no trucks. Can be bought in Loves or Pilot truck stops or can be ordered online. I dont think he will be disappointed.
