Truckers GPS

I am very interested in purchasing a GPS. I drive an 18 wheeler, mostly in mid to south eastern USA. How do I determine which GPS would be best for me without purchasing a promise that is not a truckers unit. I have just purchased the navaworld professional unit and have found that it will send you a route that is not a truck route when you are in truck mode. Thanks Clyde

Hi Clyde Olds,

Welcome to Laptop GPS World.

Yes, it is not possible to just enter destination, and then drive the plotted route. It is still necessary to check the plotted route, and edit it, modify it, as required. This is much easier to accomplish on a larger screen of a laptop computer, then on anything else.

Thanks so much for the information about ALK CoPilot Laptop 11. This navaworld is my first GPS. I have a few questions about it. As I learn, I will pass it on. Thanks

This is my first gps. Your laptop 11 has sure helped me a lot. Thank you.

I don't have much good to say about CoPilot 11. I use ALK CoPilot 9 on a daily basis.

I drive truck and use Copilot 9. I had to upgrade my laptop so my 9 software isn't compatible with Windows 7. Did ALK discontinue Copilot 11? I can't find a copy anywhere ie: Amazon, E-Bay, ALK, etc.

I think you may find a copy or two still out there if you look. But it has been replaced with version 8 now.

If you upgrade to Version 8 Truck Laptop, the cost is $69.99. $49.99 Version 8 Laptop.

Until December 31st...
