I think I'm changing GPS in future
If it were my decision, I would go with the Garmin StreetPilot 7200

I would look here as a possible place to buy it from

The 7" screen would work pretty well in a tractor.
On the other hand, the attraction of one customized for trucking is understandable. I have looked at a couple of posts in trucking forums and it seems to be lacking a little bit: https://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-for...

It looks like WorldNav 5100 will not be available for a week or two yet, so I guess it is an unknown commodity so far.
I know that you can add POIs to the Garmin 7200, but I have no idea on the units you mentioned.
Goodyear
I think that I read that Goodyear was supposed to be coming out with a new truck based gps soon. It would allow you to input the height, width and so forth of your rig and it would route you accordingly.

Gob Bless the GPS & POI!!! MY Garmin-StreetPilot c530
Teletype GPS
The Teletype trucker GPSr's have not received very good reviews on Amazon.com. I don't know about the PC Miler unit, have not seen any reviews on those. The PC Miler software has one 1-star review on epinions.com.
That would be nice if Garmin made a GPSr that had clearances, truck routes, etc., but I guess they don't see the money in it.
