Trying to navigate through Dallas and other large towns with my truck pulling my trailer with an automobile GPS from Mississippi to the playa is challenging and sometimes down right dangerous.
What I have noticed is that when I have navigated through these congested areas is a total absence of 18 wheeler's. When I get close to a large town, the 18 wheeler's seem to vanish into thin air and then reappear on the highway once I am through to town.
These 18 wheeler's have to go somewhere and they must have by pass routes that they follow that takes them around these congested areas.
I have checked the Garmin site and Garmin does sell a good number both RV and Trucker GPS's.
Do any of you guys have any experience with or knowledge of a specific model of Garmin GPS that you would recommend that gives you truck routes around large towns instead of car routes through large towns?
RV GPS...?

No idea myself, but maybe this site would be useful?

Re: RV GPS...?
Sometimes the truckers are just following the routes given to them by dispatch, following their fuel stops. Yes, there are truck route specific GPS, but you can get a trucker atlas and use that too.
