GPS Navigation

GPS, the ultimate in navigation and trip planning proficiency, appears to have been tailor-made for truckers. Drivers no longer need gloveboxes and dashboards full of assorted maps and atlases. Once you've used GPS, you'll wonder where it's been all your life. For much more information, go to the GPS Navigation Center.

Using a Computer for Trip Planning

A laptop can be used to access online maps, conditions on the road, and even can be turned into a GPS Navigation System with a receiver and software. For more information and resources (including the lowest prices on laptops), click here to go to the Computer Center for Truckers.
