We’ve used a Rand McNally RVND 7730 for several years. The really nice thing is you can input your rig length and weight. Then it will route based on those parameters, theoretically avoiding bridges and low clearances that would be a problem. Another nice thing about a stand alone unit is that it is portable and can be used in multiple vehicles.

Overall it has worked very well, but has had a few really stupid routing errors. The screen can be a bit difficult to see in bright daylight sometime as well. Overall I’d give it a B+. It does have several features that are quit nice.

As a sanity check we typically also ran the Nav in the F350. Any GPS routing has to be taken will some suspicion and verified rather than blindly following.
