GPS radically improved my confidence and ability to go.

Posted 02-25-2013 at 12:24 AM by only1leftn50

I have been in the industry -trucking for 18 years ..and a few years ago my company forced me to begin using my rarely if ever cdl ....so -I have a fear of driving where I've never been, and I have a fear of driving in unknown large cities ....its dumb I know but its being lost in travel. And dont need a huge atlas on steering wheel driving looking at little roads at nite so I get the idea to get my first GPS Garmin 465t ....WOW! My confidence, gave me ability and thus I believe this electronic device saved my job.!! It also gave. Me the ability to look like I knew what I was doing and though I put it through city and state and the worst it never failed ..not one time ...since then I've learned to incorporate the map and Garmin ..but it took away a long held fear of going somewhere I've never been and look like a pro doing it ..scared of being lost in strange place and lots of traffic has been horrible to me. Not anymore I feel I can drive anywhere now! And who knows maybe even RV when I retire in a few ...now I'm waiting on the new GARMIN DEZL 760LMT it looks amazing with it being the best reviewed truck GPS ever ...and I've read em all ..well anyway if you know someone like I was get em a Garmin or at least tell them about GPS travel. ..the GPS gave me a new life in travel! !!!

    the dezl (Garmin) 560lmt or the 760lmt for trucks & Rv

    As I wait on my dezl 760 lmt should be in a few .weeks ..and when I get recalled back to work in a few I will be giving my review of it ..its so very new not much out there on it ..but when I get big rign again ill have it on and tell ya what I know from my experience ....the 560 I was thinking about it but ...why 299 or 399 ...for the advanced lane guidance look closely don't be confused the 560 doesn't have it ..it has lane assist like the 760 but look close the lane guidance split screen only 760 ..plus the 760 is a whopping 7 inches and that is huge compared to the 5 -560

    The lane guidance is on all Garmin advanced model GPS ...and once you see the split screen lane guidance in real time ....its a must have ..the lane assist is on virtually all GPS units now but lane guidance is all new and so very cool ....I wonder how many bought the 560 thinking they were gonna get that option by reading lane assist on the box of 560

    You have to look close ..lane assist is not lane guidance they are two completely different options ...the lane assi. Is on nearly all GPS units ..lane guidance is on premium advanced units ...
