Can navigation be set for "truck"? I drive a commercial vehicle and need to avoid Parkways

It has a truck setting but it's not that reliable for not getting you into trouble it doesn't seem to alter the route

It can be set for Car, Emergency, Bus or Taxi. It doesn't have a Truck option.

Yes you can. There are several setting you can choose from. I have the truck showing on my gps. I have liked this garmin better then any of the other gps I have had in the past and they have all been garmin's.

I have found that it does not pay any attention to the info you put in. My roadmate tries to put me on a parkway (cars only Low bridges). I do not trust the unit and always check the route it gives. My advice would be to change the info when you are using it for the truck. My wife bought the GPS even after I told her about bad reviews.

The bypass is intended for the DVD/USB Video playback. You can operate the Navigation aspect of the unit at anytime after the vehicle is powered up. There is a disclaimer notice when you first switch to the navigation screen but it's a one time (per car turn on) deal.

It all depends on the type of "car" you have. There arent many transforming car-into-truck vehicles but they are available, albeit for a premium. For us regular folk this GPS units' ability to adapt does not carry over into your vehicle.

It's not made to house the navigation. I'm spme what of a fabricator. You can make it work.

Yes it can. When on the dashboard screen you can set it to show any number of navigational fields.

Yes, the device can be set to truck or automobile. If set to automobile then all the trucking features will be turned off and it will be like any other automobike gps.

Yes you can set the GPS volume independent of radio volume. And it depends on what you mean by traffic alerts. The unit does use traffic to calculate your route, however, its based on historical data and not live traffic. if you want live traffic alerts then you should look at the newer version, ine-z928 I believe.

Don't rely on this feature. It thinks my truck is somewhere on the interstate about 10 miles from home--while my truck is sitting safely in my driveway. I've even see it think my truck was at a place that I didn't even drive by.

No. It will allow you to plan your own detour. You must put the detour in manually. Now, Garmin does offer a traffic app but they charge you for it.

If you are asking, "can I set specific roads to take?", I haven't found a way to do that. You can set the type of route, ie. shortest, fastest...

I have been doing a little research and stumbled across this site. http://www.the-portable-gps.com/gps-for-trucking.htmlCopy and paste it. I think I found my answer to what I want for Rv'ing.

Not that I have seen. As a truck driver I utilize Google maps 5-50 times a day.

No. You can set it to different vehicles. It does not have to be set up as a truck unit. It may advise that a route "may have" restrictions, but will not avoid them.

The detailed answer involves lots of issues and background information regarding roads, bridges, land/water geography, nautical markers, etc. The practical answer is no, this software is for terrestrial navigation using roads.

Yes it tells you what roads u can and can't go on with ur truck. U can switch it from car to truck or vise versa. U can pick ur own alerts and set it up the way u want. But the answer to ur question is yes. It gives u the best route without takin u on roads or bridges that trucks can't go on. But I always double check my routes anyway to be safe. Hope this helps.
