Yeah it is... but I don't recommend it because is to slow and freeze too much.. only is good to find rest areas, weight stations and truck stops .... but wen you need it most freeze... &gt;:-(

The best you can do is try to create routing using major highways. None of the portable satnav's have the necessary database of bridge heights, weight limits and truck restrictions needed for commercial truck driving. Some of the Garmin series have a "truck routing" feature, but that really only makes every attempt to stay on major highways and off local roads.

I don't recommend this model personally. It can't find the ways . when you drive on highway it will automatic sent you to some rural ways. and specially when you miss the way this gps pointed out on highway , the navigation will force you turn right or turn left which in real world is a straight line . piss you off uh? further more when you typed in the address from business card , the machine would jump in different name automatic ,and if you turn in researching mode .it will really reseaching .........and reseaching...........till you give up. if you wanna buy ,remember using google map first, try to write down some important addresses, and then use the nivigation .DO NOT RECOMMEND TO UNKNOWN PLACE BY USING THIS ONE.

To my knowledge, this is still the most current - and best - GPS Garmin produces for most consumers. Those of us wanting the 3597LMTHD had to wait until it's release in May of this year, following our pre-order of same. I believe there is a new "Big Rig" device out there, customized for over-road truck drivers. I've seen nothing else more current from Garmin. Hope this satisfactorily answers your question.

It is not explained. Some one line help google search from others users. It is not for satellites for North America, I found this out after purchase without hacking the item.

Works for me, I drove to Canada and it kept me updated on any traffic and even on accident delays on the way. I assume your software is up to date?

GPS uploads are a must. The 650G offers these free of charge. Coast to coast round trip from Seattle to Cocoa Beach, Florida this past summer driving a 2004 Cobra convertible. Averted numerous speed traps including a 3 laser assault in St. Louis, MO. going across the Mississippi River. Also, love the fact that the 650G monitors my charging system given that the Cobra does NOT come equipped with an alternator gauge, just an idiot light. Love this thing!

I would suggest purchasing another brand. My 560LMT was not "Truck Friendly"... If I desired to become a Garmin 560LMT GPS expert I could have made it perform better. I'd rather buy a unit that requires me to put it in the cab, plug in the power, put in my waypoints and go... The 560LMT doesn't do that, but it will after A LOT OF twiddleing with it... JMO

It can. It has two modes: for cars, and for trucks. The truck section can be programmed according to weight, dimensions, etc. I have had several GPSs over time, and this one is the best by far, especially the large size.

There are some legal issues in some countries for using the VHF radio frequency that the device uses to communicate from the collar to the 320 receiver unit (I know you are not supposed to use it in Canada at this point although I think there is some legislation to try to fix that). Not sure about China-check the Garmin site.

There is a better that is a little more expensive but all your features work with it. This one you will lose some of the features. Try this one http://www.seicane.com/gmc-yukon-denali-dvd-player-gps-navigation-system-with-radio-tv-bluetooth-srd-8723-3d

I purchased a Magellan 4250about two months ago, after having a Garmin 2610 for about 4 years. The updating of the vehicle icon is jerky and you can pass a street before the unit will show you at the intersection. There is a upgrade (2.36) for the 4250 that is suppose to correct this problem but does not. The Magellan service contacts are off shore and you may have trouble talking with them. You may want to try a 4250 prior to buying.

I don't know. I googled it, and another person said there are no Canadian maps.
