Trucker GPS help

Please forgive me if I miscatigotized this post, I'm a trucker and have been for many years, and my old Atlas is getting a bit warn out, Google maps is fine and all but areas with out service I can't get directions at all, and Co pilot is cool for the consumer class but I am not about to pay close to 150 for the truck class program so what I'm looking for is a GPS program that has maps on SD card and that can factor in hight and weight restrictions and if no app for evo then a good GPS itself I mean if I'm to pay 150 for some thing its not going to be some ones line of code to put on an already over priced phone get my point?

Google maps new feature let's you download and save the map of your route you want to take. And its use is for exactly what you described, losing reception.

Thanks for all you do by the way, people never realize that everything we consume/own has come off a truck at some point.

True, nor does it show low bridges, etc
Just searched for trucker friendly apps on the market, but nothing that shows routes, etc except the 150.00 CoPilot.
There is a 1.50 app called Low Clearances, though.

I really don't understand the issue with the CoPilot app? Is it expensive, yes... but it's replacing an entire DEVICE in your cab.
Also, you're paying for ongoing support and updates when clearances and routes change. It's not in the same ballpark as a $0.99 app that makes a *boing* sound when you shake your phone.
99 cent apps have been disastrous for the software community. There is an expectation that anything over 99 cents is a rip off now, but what folks don't understand is a 99 cent app may have 100 lines of code whereas something like a GPS system may have several million lines of code. It's entire orders of magnitude apart.

just my two penny's but once you buy the app (co-pilot or whatever) you own it. if the evo ever starts feeling old, breaks or gets to small you can load it up on a 10 incher if you want. try that with a stand alone GPS. once the hardware breaks your sol.

I have no problems with paying that much for CoPilot. If I ever get back on the road, and with the economy looking to take another nose dive, it's a real possibility, I'll be making the investment.

Honestly, customer service related to anything (not just technology) is just flat out pathetic anymore.
I've gone to an autoparts store where the guy knew less about cars than my grandma.
There's no money in customer service so there's no desire to be good at it.

Hmm?
I didn't say that, just that it has gone down hill significantly.
Sprint's representatives can be pretty ridiculous.
I once heard A female manager at a local Sprint store related processing power to data speeds for the Evo.
Something of the nature of "The data is faster on this phone over others because it has a 1 ghz processor"
You could clearly tell she had no clue what a processor was. Much less any relation to data speeds.

I emphatically disagree. I was raised with a solid work ethic of doing your best no matter what job you have. I have a bachelors in Finance but work in crappy C.S making pay I'm ashamed to even say, but do I do it half-arsed, no.
Sent from my SPH-D710

Those personality tests are not that hard... The hardest ones are for at&t and best buy.. All you do is answer as honest as possible.. Most people say answer with "strongly agree" or "strongly disagree" but some of the questions are borderline and answering like a machine from irobot *(the ones that are 3 law "safe") will send a flag to the employer... And they will know if your being honest or not
But yes I agree, I commit my self to my job and try to learn something new every day (I suffer from sever ADD) so anything to keep me active weather its improving or learning helps... Rather than doing a half ass job and slacking off for 8 hours
*disregard the analogy if you never seen irobot

Best security app ever for EPIC4GT

Sorry for the shameless self promotion. But my Security app Root Defense was developed on the Epic 4G touch and unlike any other security app out there, it will allow you to continue to track your phone even if it gets wiped or a hard-reset by a thief.
It's almost impossible to lose your phone and it's completely free. You can subscribe if wanted for additional logging goodies.
It requires that you have a rooted phone (as most people have on XDA)
Please try it out and rate and comment on Google Play if you like it.

Yeah, Cerberus was a program created after ours that has many of the same features. Even including the 5 licenses for the price of one.
Root Defense comes with many many more features though and no user interface on the phone.
Basically its still free but with more features and a stealthier install.
Also ours shows the existing data of logs and location from before a phone went missing so you aren't in the dark when your device is off

Not emails, but most definitely texts, phone calls, and location. I'm not bashing this, just curious as to the advantages. I was one of the lucky ones who got Cerberus for free when they were doing the giveaway, just was wondering if it was worth... "upgrading"?

Root defense also is free and survives wipes and all the features the $4 a month is only if you wish to keep the logging features. All actually security features are free and always will be.
One of the major differences if the our free edition vs Cerberus is that our free version also keeps track of the last known coordinates.
What this means is that if your phone was stolen or lost and was either turned off or ran out of battery. Our product would show you where it last was and when it was there. Cerberus won't be able to show you anything as it needs to connect to the device each time to read data.
This is true of most fee or one-time fee programs because that's how they can afford it. In order to be helpful to people off-line, you need to store the data in a database which will quickly incur cost to developers (especially storing MMS messages.)
Anyway, different stroke for different folks. But keep in mind that after the trial ends, you still have (any always will have) all the free version features.

The game isn't free? I downloaded it and then I couldn't play any more level and in the menu it says "Unlock Full Version" for $6.

only 3 levels are free

I think the game is free because when I tried to purchase the game while I was in the game, it did not charge me. It will say it will cost $6 but no where does it ask for your cc info or goto the market store to purchase.

check you phone bill in the part of download, you will see 6.99 for next bill

I don't get why you got so defensive because I wrote 'haha'. I wasn't rude, I wasn't offensive and if you took offense to my original comment, then you have some serious issues and you're probably one of those boyfriends that end up on the news for beating his girl cause she said hi to a guy, and if you're a girl, then you're probably ratchet.

I came here to make a point and ask a question regarding upgrades to the tmobile version of NFS. your response was not helpful yet very childish. I don't take offense but you have been a member since 2009 so you should know better. your analogy was so way off that I had to respond a second time. take a look at how many posts i have vs how long i have been on here. Only recently have I decided to post in response to Posts that are BS. why would i get mad? because i get an email when someone responds to a subscribed post and when all i see is "haha" it just shows how MODs and owners of this site have let it go to hell. Just so no one else has to read this, i will not respond but if you really have something to say Pm me. oh btw I am a 43 yr old male that yes would smack the **** out of a little kid that showed disrespect. have a good day!

Hey gramps, would you prefered if I had wrote 'lol'? Does that make it friendlier? Like I said, my comment wasn't hostile in any way shape or form, and if you took offense then get off the Internet cause the Internet is serious business. Such a shame that the world as degraded to the point that "haha" basically means the same as "**** you" because I always thought haha meant lol.
