    Default Truck GPS solution with reliably available/attainable maps?

    What the title says. Need an affordable GPS solution that has the option for truck-specific avoidances (parkways for example). More importantly it should be something compatible with freely-attainable maps (updated ones, USA). Those Chinese no-brand GPS units on eBay are fairly affordable and come with iGo Primo, but they have issues with unsufficient memory and error popups. Any ideas?

    I saw this on eBay:
    [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

    RoadMates (even big ones like that) can sometimes be had for good prices since their map update features don't work. I have a different roadmate and am using it with iGo. Was wondering if that particular unit was compatible (I do see an SD card slot). Then I can get a microSD and load it with iGo and northeast maps. I believe iGo has truck options.

    [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] - seems like a better deal and not too small. I'll have to ask him if it has a microSD slot, though. It does. Saw it on images of a different unit with same model #.

    If your job (trucker) depends on navigation, then use some device with online access. Use either free (GMaps) or pay for some dedicated software (CoPilot, Sygic...).
    Before asking a question, know it's already discussed here and at 99.9% is not unique. Use search.

    Spoiler: obs
    Many questions become very arduous, a lot of time chewed deja vu...Since we have lost all the year of work and effort, many people have no will to answer the same questions again. Me neither. Use a search, please.

    Have that already as backup, but since it drains data, I was looking for something to replace the old Dezl when it finally breaks. I heard Magellan units used WinCE so should be compatible with iGo. I was just wondering if that was still the best way to go in terms of saving $.

    Something that seems to be left off of trucking nav systems - US 129 from US 411 to the NC state line is NOT FOR TRUCKS! It has warning signs and turn-arounds, but people still try to run 18 wheelers over it. You WILL be ticketed as you will be in both ditches at the same time.

    A friend of mine and I were talking about this exact topic the other day. I said [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] then and I still stick by it. It’s the best of the best when it comes to being reliable.
