Any electronic might fail.
That said, I highly prefer the Garmin 7" truck unit....current top of the line is the 770 Dezi, a new one is coming out soon.
I also have the Rand. I've also tried the rest of them. Garmin is tops in my book, although the Rand is better at some things.
So did it lock up permanently or need a restart or what?
That screen in the pic it was stuck on every time I clicked on anything having to do with accessing its main function the GPS itself. I tried runnin the GPS repair software and tried power cyclin the device multiple times however to no avail. I declared it dead and now I am between the 540 rand and the 580 garmin. Which should I get? I need to do this by later today because now I am without a GPS until I can purchase another one. The 740 lasted almost 10 months without issue.
Great Car GPS go with Garmin. Great Truck GPS go with RM.
I ended up gettin a 540. It seems to run better and for now at least it don't have the freeze bug my 740 had. I still think the 740 is junk, but if you like Rand go with the 540. Thanks for all of yalls help. I appreciate it. :)
I have a Garmin Dezl 770. It did great until the latest software update, as it as crashed a few times. And it will send you on some goofy directions every now and then. But remember it is only 1 tool of many. I still have my Road atlas and use it every day.
Like Yesterday returning from Tuscaloosa, AL to Anderson, SC. I-20 east to Atlanta, I-285 north on inner loop to I-85 north. GPS said to take I-20 and turn left onto I-285.. It is an right turn, there is no left. And from I-285 to I-85 south and loop around back north when the north ramp is a straight shot.
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
I use the Garmin 770 as well along with directions provided by my company and other drivers. It's been great so far. I use the "arrive in" countdown on it to gauge my hos and what I can get done. Has helped to run a little harder.
