Hit the open road with the dēzl 560LMT--Garmin's advanced navigator for the trucking industry. Designed with truckers in mind, the 560LMT has a large 5-inch display, extra loud speakers, and external video input for backup cameras. Garmin has also expanded the feature list to include trucking speed limits, truck-specific route highlighting, and trucking points of interest (POIs). And truck drivers aren't the only type of drivers that will like the 560LMT--RV drivers will appreciate the ability to setup an RV profile and calculate routes based on height, weight and length restrictions.

This review is from: Garmin dezl 560LMT 5-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable Trucking GPS Navigator with Lifetime Map & Traffic Updates (Electronics)
This unit is better than most but still has some shortcomings. If you are on a route and want to switch modes to car for instance the route will not recalculate. It will show car but you will be on the truck route. You have to end the route, switch modes and then recalculate a route. I have found RV routing at times will send you many miles out for your way and you cannot over ride the route. The RV mode uses truck routing and there are many truck restricted routes that allow RVs. Without an RV route database we are stuck with truck or car routes. I was told by Garmin to set up a car route and a truck route for this segment of my trip and use the car route as an over ride when needed. That disables other safety issues like grade warnings, bridges, or height restrictions while using car nav. The other big issue is that this unit does not work with MapSource, Garmins computer program for mapping. On my Nuvi I could plan and check a route in MapSource and upload it and download it. It is much better to view and alter a route on a computer screen than on a Garmin screen. These items need fixing to get to 5 stars. I am happy to a point....The big plus is downloading POI databases and having them available. The hardware execution is excellent but the software execution is lacking at this point. Some of these items will be worked on in time...
