I use the Garmin Streetpilot 2610. It works well, I turn off the voice commands
because they are annoying but have the tone alert turned on so it beeps when a
turn is approaching. I really like the feature of setting the vehicle type to
bus so it avoids roads that it knows have height or weight restrictions. It has
a bean bag base that works well for keeping it planted on the dash and is very
easily moved to the toad when touring, no remote antenna just a power adapter.

I use Garmin N-Route on my laptop. I think it cost about $130.00. I like
it the screen size on a laptop better than the smaller GPS. I routed a
power supply from behind my set of front drawers to the top of the large
flat part of the dash. I keep the inverter on so I am running on AC not the
battery. Also keep an internet connection, Email and connection back to the
office running via air card at the same time.
