Pc miler is the best(if you can get a bootleg copy) but it cost's alot because it's a compleat package.
I still have (24 hr period) days in a 62 mph truck where I move 780 miles without going over hrs. I can usually get the most miles and hours by taking notes and using them during that last driving hour. When you are tired, you might not realize how far you can go and what your options are. But it's nice to zoom in and see oh yeah that's right by a truckstop. Most truck stops show up now also, but that was never a problem. It's just easier to get all that info all at once than dig through atlas, etc. After a while, I knew which way to head to get to the nearest rest area or see how far I could go before the weigh station. If I saw a preplan, I routed myself that way and took off toward that area. The BEST thing I can say also is that for 5 months, I used it to rte myself as I learned the highways. And when you are about to pass main st in dallas and the road is closed ahead, it is good to be able to take a quick look and see the road you need was to the right. It's always nice to see exact miles, zoom in on the interchanges to see what lane. If the Maptuit saves over 50 miles per say 500 then I go into Delorme and find all the turns.ĭelorme has been very helpful with drive time, always overestimating (assuming you will get gas 10 times instead of fueling once or twice but better to overestimate). The simple customer dir, the Delorme Rte (fastest drive time NOT shortest rte, and maptuit). Maptuit has been a pain in the butt since it's integration so I write down 3 directions. Once in a while, the roads aren't there, then I try Maptuit over the qualcomm. It got me out of more than a dozen sticky situations. I have used Delorme to confirm routes, write down rest stops and things to look for along the way. PC Miler and CoPilot are the only "Driver Specific" programs out there that I know of. You can't say that about DeLorme.or Garmin.or any of the other "Consumer" driven products. I'd take a look the CoPilot series of GPS softwares.I think they will get the job done.Īnd it's nice knowing you won't be ruoted through a neighborhood full of kids running around like wild animals. It IS NOT VGA! But, so far.I've thrown out my Odyssey Mobile.and really seriously thinkin' about gettin' rid of my DestinatoPN.both of which were setup using the Q3 2004 datasets.OLD maps are no good.unless you're treasure hunting. On the laptop this thing looks cool.on the PPC it does a good job.but could use some graphics updates. It uses both practical and shortest miles.you choose. I finally got my CoPilot Truck for my PDA! It's not perfect.but if you need 53' routing, HAZMAT routing, want to be able to see the Chicken Coups a few miles b4 you get there, not to mention all the truckstops and rest areas.this program might be for you.
