No it is commercial grade. You can use it in your car but it can save a life (yours) in a tractor trailer.

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

The dezl unit is set up for trucking. It'll show you truck-accessible routes, keep track of your driver hours, your miles, your fuel (so long as your driver enters the details)... there is a setting for the size of your truck, and the size of your trailer so the gadget can route you around places you won't fit (depending, of course, on the accuracy of the map data)... it's a helpful little gadget. When we bought ours, we went right to the Garmin website for details on all their models (lots of info there to compare their different units).

It has a couple of diffrent functions on it Truck is one of them. Car, and walking are the other 2. The truck function is real good on it routes you around low bridges or if you go off its route by making a wrong turn it will let you know if there is a low bridge ahead. I've been in New York City, Baltimore, and a few of the pain in the butt cities in the east and it never screwed me. It is the one that I would by agine out of the truck specific ones, and I have had it since it came out 3 years ago and never had a problem with it. I Drive a 53'refer.

There is a live chat option and they can answer that question 100%. An you can do a lot of questions in this matter. You can do it just give them a email and the model. I hope this answers help you.

The time on mine always resets after I turn it off and back on. However, it always sets to the correct date, and exactly one hour behind the correct time regardless of what I've set it to. It's almost as if it has a way to automatically set the time, but has the wrong time zone or daylight saving time set. I thought it might be getting the info from the GPS; but I recently traveled to a different time zone, and it reset the time to two hours behind. In other words, it didn't know that I traveled to a different time zone.

Idk if this helps. I have 10-18 stops per day that I need to fallow in order, ive sinked my android phone with the garmin and just type them in one by one, the garmin asks to add this to the route. Only problem there is is with some gps locations are not accurate thus once u arrive to ur destination it goes and calculates the next destination. Not a perfect thing, but if u dont know where u are it helps a lot, especially with truck restrictions

Mike, I agree what Garmin said made no sense, but it is working today. So who knows what really happened. Where did you get those other updates for the traffic receiver?

No, it does not have a reset. I have it installed on my garden tractor and it works great.

It does automatically reset at midnight. It updates the fuel band time when you physically sync your fuel band to your computer, so a workaround is to change your computer time zone to one either 12 hours ahead or behind and THEN sync your fuel band. "Midnight" will change accordingly so it resets at noon. I know this works b/c I travel very frequently and often update my system time to whatever time zone I'm in. When I do this, my fuel band always re-syncs.

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\

I bought it for the same reason. It has a hard time working properly from my dash to the tailgate of my truck. Nothing but static on the end of my trailer.

I used this gps for over a year on the north east until it was stolen out of my truck when I went in to use rest room @ fuel stop my fault I guess scumbag truckers never had a problem ever... except once- took me to the wrong side of a town / opposite of where I needed to be... used it in truck mode with basic truck dimentions,,, worked great.. no complaints.

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.

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

Mine was an upgrade, wanted a GPS on my truck.I bought mine for $399.It does come from China, so be ready to wait a while, unless Amazon has one that ships faster.

I have been doing a little research and stumbled across this site. http://www.the-portable-gps.com/gps-for-trucking.htmlCopy and paste it. I think I found my answer to what I want for Rv'ing.

I did the update, went smooth. Do you know is there is a comprehensive list of what was fixed/updated?I have some issues driving on a divided highway (Dale Mabry in Tampa) when you go by all the turn lanes between median, the gps tells you to "stay right ahead", every half mile or so, very annoying and not needed. I am already on the road I should be on. Any word on the volume, I have sebring convertible, with the top up it is noisier than the average car, really can't even hear the gps.

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. :)
