By my count this is the 5th link to an eBay auction posted by truckerjohn, all of which are or were up for auction by eBay seller may8493. If one were skeptical, one might wonder if truckerjohn and may8493 are one in the same, especially in light of the reviews of the GPS units that's being mentioned here. These have been discused on these forums at length already.
TeleType's GPS products are the worst of the worse, the bottom of the barrel, and the GPS Review sites continue to give each unit and each new revision abysmal ratings. The PC Miler Navigator falls woefully short in living up to its promises, as well. The truck and HAZMAT routing is a nice thing to have, but the underlying mapping data is still just as flawed as the Co-Pilot software that powers it. The PC-Nav is now on its 4th revision in less than 2 months, which should speak volumes.
Until ALK comes out with a PC Miler Navigator that is powered by PC Miler and not by Co-Pilot Truck, it will contined to fall short of its promises. There is simply no way that a $300 standalone GPS unit will ever perform the same way that the full PC Miler will. The Basic PC Miler software, which only gives city-to-city or Zip-to-Zip directions, is $995. That's the teaser version. Add the Streets option for street-level turn-by-turn directions and it's another $1200. And another $1200 for HAZMAT routing, and you're looking at $3400 for dock-to-dock directions with HAZMAT routing, the same thing the $300 standalone unit professes to do, but doesn't.
PC Miler and Co-Pilot Truck are two very, very different products, and ALK should be strung up for misleading people into thinking they are getting a standalone PC Miler unit when all they're getting is a standalone version of TravRoute Door-to Door, as that's all Co-Pilot Truck actually is.
