Me either! I will have to try that sometimes. I use the gps but compare it to our route suggestion, and atlas, and any company directions.

Just yesterday, i had put in the address for a store drop i had to make, but when I compared it all, i had major doubts about the gps. It turns out by folkowing our dispatch directions, I reached the store about 12 miles before the gps said i should! Never blindly trust your gps.

Personally I just follow my Garmin 770 and use Google maps (sat view) for the last mile or so. Also look around your final destination area. Follow other trucks if any and use common sense. I hated company QC navs because they try to route you through non-toll roads and are more primitive than truck specific GPS.
