Car Tech: Truck driver in need of GPS navigation
WorldNav for Truckers
by oleg_popov - 7/10/08 5:19 AM In reply to: GPS reviews by cwalkerUSMCTraveling with WorldNav is a wonderful experience. Screen is large and very clear. Unit has text to speech and directions are clear. For truckers I would think it is a must system. I purchased this system after I got a very expensive ticket in NYC.
I would recommend this system to any commercial driver.
Truck Routing with 7 inch WorldNav
by j_n_smith - 7/10/08 5:33 AM In reply to: WorldNav for Truckers by oleg_popovI am glad that I purchased from RadioShack recently truck routing system called WorldNav. The unit has good reception and routing is acceptable. I have not been routed yet even once on parkway and other truck restricted areas. I transport cars and making mistake in routing is very expensive for me. Gas is too expensive to run into truck restricted area and then to try to turn around.
I recommend Worldnav

Worldnav
by oleg_popov - 8/27/08 6:34 AM In reply to: Posts by Mr Popov by gatorguyI travel all over the country. That is what I do for living. One week I am on the east coast and another I am on the west. I travel with the worldnav all the time.
identity
by gatorguy - 8/30/08 8:06 PM In reply to: Worldnav by oleg_popovI have no doubt you do Ed. As you own Teletype, I find it shameful that you feel the need to fool people into thinking you are someone you are not. If your product is that good, there should be no need for fooling the public with posts from imaginary people.
Gagor Guy right: Ed is a fraud
by tedcohens - 2/2/09 12:58 PM In reply to: identity by gatorguyThree cheers to Gator Gay for unmasking Ed's true identity - a shill for TeleType.
Thank you Gator Guy!
(Wiki define "shill:" A shill is an associate of a person selling goods or services or a political group, who pretends no association to the seller/group...
teletype gps
by trustinfuture - 10/13/08 10:49 AM In reply to: Posts by Mr Popov by gatorguyTeletype gps are charging people huge money on their units just because its use on big rigs.This how:
They buy their cheap old gps units with no maps for or arround $200 bucks and are incorporte their software or I sould call other peoples maps for the rest of the money.Lets say the hole gps cost(with bluetuth)cost $749 per unit minus $200 the gps unit with no software so teletype will charge you $549 just for software.If you buy the copilot truck 11 for laptop will cost you $199.You make the math.Any body needs help with the price and the location of gps 7" but with software for cars same as the one from teletype look into www.navsgo.com and you will be the judge.
copilot
by ironeagleford - 12/12/08 9:38 PM In reply to: teletype gps by trustinfutureI have both copilot truck 9 and 11 and both are not that good shows streets that have wrong names and so on I currently use 9 because of ease of use but has bugs so does 11 have bugs their main concern is to sell not service what they sell sorta like some car dealers
i have called them and complained about differant things and they sluff you off. they should have just updated 9 with map updates.
9 cost 349.00 with gps and 11 is 300 with gps usally found at ta truck stops
I'll say Garmin Nuvi 5000
by estoppel - 1/13/09 10:50 PM In reply to: WorldNav for Truckers by oleg_popovIt has all one needs for driving trucks and/or RVs - especially the "Where Am I?" feature that shows you the nearest gas station, hospital, and police station. If you are to drive to unfamiliar places constantly, this kind of information can be real handy.
About "good Qualities" of WorldNav 5100...
by snagent - 3/8/09 4:42 PM In reply to: WorldNav for Truckers by oleg_popovI cannot help sharing my resent experience with my new "GPS" WorldNav 5100, which I bought from GPS Planet in February 2009. First it was difficult to set up it. I had to call to Teletype GPS customer service to switch my device to the right communication mode(???). Then the pleasure begun. It cannot make a rout as long as Buffalo, NY to Brooklyn, NY, saying, that its memory was not enough to do it. So I had to plan shorter routs. Then, while on the rout, it often says to take some exit, then make a U turn and get back to the same exit on the highway (???). I became the most exited, when in rush hour, going to one place in Bayonne, NJ it brought me to a low bridge( 11 feet), though I adjusted it on 13,6 feet high truck (default), not to mention routing thru restricted areas for heavy duty trucks. I understand that it would be impossible to refund it in full, so I am sentenced to own it ($650.00 CA, including customs charges). I'm gonna put this Email to the proper forum on the Internet for other people to know, what not to buy.
Thank you for selling such a "high quality" product to the fools.

TRUCK drivers gps
by ironeagleford - 1/15/09 10:19 AM In reply to: Good cheap Garmin Nuvi 260 by Busy BeaI don't think you understand that a BIG RIG driver has only certain roads they are allowed to travel on. If you take notice in your travels at some of the signs in various areas you'll see most streets are restricted to trucks and some of weight limits and bridge heights.
A gps such as teletype is designed for 18 wheelers and such large vehicles. Garmin is a great gps but none of the ones they have are for big trucks! also does it have hazmat. let me know if this unit does all that for trucks NOT cars.
