Might consider getting the RV 660LMT but after reading some reviews, maybe not. These things are soo BIG!
My NUVI works great and I've fetched a couple of phone and IPad apps to let my co-pilot keep an eye on things.
MapQuest can get you in trouble. Try the Trucker Path app instead. I've had the RV 760 for years and it has not lead me astray in nearly 42,000 miles. Actually, confirmed it kept me out of trouble at least 6 - 8 times. Don't get so many apps that confusion sets in.
