That I don't really know. I was considering the Rand McNally but wanted to stay with Garmin

I ended up taking back the TomTom when the Garmin 680 became available and am using the Garmin friction pad. That worked great on our long trip, and it sits really well on the console during night driving when there'd be reflection on the windshield.

I like it much better. I have a lot of friends that have Garmin. They seem to be limited to some courses which I have been able to receive on the Bushnell

I was a long time Garmin user but bought the RM 7735 for use with my camper. The voice was awful and after adjusting all the settings I was still being re-routed off major highways. Just sold it and I am buying a Garmin again.

I use my 5915 for geocaching. I wanted one device that I could use everyday in the car (nav, music, pda-functionality) and then could pull out for the occasional cache. I really like the program GPSTuner for offroad navigation (no affiliation, just a happy customer). I also bought a little silicon case on ebay to protect it on the trail. If you do a lot of hiking, etc, then a dedicated, more rugged GPS is probably a better bet though.

Both the 390LM & the 590LM have the "Curvy Roads" feature which will let you ride on back roads instead of free-ways or highways. Whether you choose the 390LM or the 590LM depends on your preferences regarding screen size and some added functionality on the 590LM. Please bear in mind that you will have to replace any existing Garmin GPS mount you may already have on your motorcycle to accommodate either one of the new models!

There are at least two GPS that are specific to RVs and/or large trucks now: Garmin's 'Big Rig' Nuvi 5000 GPS and CoPilot Live 11. I don't know if they are good or not, but if you are still looking, it's a place to start.

I don't personally know of anyone that has the Rand McNally. Some of the RV forums that I frequent have had good reviews on both the Rand McNally and the Garmin. I don't know which Rand McNally there were using. Sorry.

As I understand it, commercial vehicle are restricted use of radar detectors. If you choose to take the chance of using one, the Redline should be just as friendly to the trucker as it is for the individual user.

yes it will. it has a setting for trucks. it has no traffic feature or free map updates, but has an mp3 player, photo viewer and other features that newer models do not have. i paid $750. for mine new. buy it.

I'm really not sure. The point of any GPS is to find you the route. I know on the 760 you can select routes to avoid, low bridges,dirt roads etc.

Is it better is always the question, we all ask when buying a GPS? I cannot give a definitive answer as they are both good. I like the look and feel of the 390 and the glove friendly screen, was much better to me. Also the visibility in bright light is great on the 390. I do not think either one of them works well with base camp. The program is hard to use. I do not know about the 660 but I had to add a flash drive, as with most Garmin's now, they do not have enough memory to even do the first map update.In the end I bought the 390 as I felt is was better for the money and if I choose to I can add the tire pressure system.

No it does not. I bought update $89.00 at the beginning of this year and it was waste of money. If you are looking for truck gps do not by this one.

Yes. I love it and makes gps more accurate for other ways when traffic is bad. Thumbs up.

Joyce, go for the 1300LM..and btw, this model has no traffic (the 1300LMT has). The free lifetime maps by itself is well worth getting this Garmin (which uses NAVTEQ versus the unreliable TELEATLAS of Tomtom).

Hi Michelle, I bough the GPS and it's been working very good for me, I know that does it have live traffic but you need to buy an antenna and I know you got have it connected in to the internet (Wi-Fi) otherwise won't work, I don't use that so that's why I can't tell you more about it, but it's a good Truck GPS.

I would suggest purchasing another brand. My 560LMT was not "Truck Friendly"... If I desired to become a Garmin 560LMT GPS expert I could have made it perform better. I'd rather buy a unit that requires me to put it in the cab, plug in the power, put in my waypoints and go... The 560LMT doesn't do that, but it will after A LOT OF twiddleing with it... JMO
