And you don't lose 4 years worth of shippers & consignees that are saved.
And there is a really cool user group forum for S&T help.

Did you just download an update windwalker.....you didn't have to buy a new version?

 

i bought the peaked and tuned one because it was $10 more. who knows what the future brings too. i might get back in to hauling mail. at times you need a radio to keep in contact with others you are running with.


the gps can be updated, that was the selling point on it for me.

 

I like CoPilot v8 because it's VERY touch-screen friendly and looks perfect on my 7" touchscreen. ALK has monthly updates as well as quarterly map updates. I've had 2, maybe 3, times that I had to go to an address that wasn't in it, but I verify directions anyway and follow those. But, there have also been times when the directions the customer has given me that were so far off you'd be scratching your head wondering how they got to work, but CoPilot took me right in. It also has the truck settings (length, width, weight, hazmat, etc). The built-in truckstop poi's are pretty extensive, even though some of the mom & pop one's may show in the center of the closest town, or in the center of the interchange. You can also import your own poi's, as well. I have 3 custom datasets I use: company terminals, customers & Pilot/Flying J (downloaded those from their site).

 

Before I bot S&T, I tested a few stand alone units...Tom Tom, Nuvi and Garmin. I dropped on of one of them getting out of my truck and it wouldn't power up after that. I thought, "what would happen if I had years of way points in there? They are gone forever."

I suppose they must have a way to back that stuff up now?
