As you may know I think satnavs are a waste of money, use a road atlas with truck routes and ask directions to the exact location on the phone. I would NEVER pay a huge amount of hard earned money for a f**kin toy that nobody trusts anyway 
However ! ⌠Last week Verizon called me about my mobile accout which is due for renewal and as usual they will offer lots to keep my custom. âYou have VZ navigator on your phone if you want it but you have not uploaded it, can I ask why ?â said the girl.
âBecause it is a waste of money at $9.99 a month I am not gonna waste my time or money to tell me what O mostly know anywayâ I said.
âYou can have it for a penny a monthâ she said.
âyeah ⌠untill 6 months pass and the price gos up againâ I said.
âNo, one cent a month for everâ she said.
âOk, Iâll try itâ
So this week I have been playing with it on the phone wich has a largish touch screen, I can set it for truck routes which is not bad considering a truck satnav costs a lot more than a regular one. Every time I stop it shows me the cheapest fuel at truck stops and gas stations in the area and all entertainment and places to eat within 5 miles so I am very impressed ⌠still wouldnât pay hard earned cash for a satnav though.

Not wanting to upset you Tonka but âAMBESTâ truck stops sell that for $100 less at $299 mate.
just called at am best in lubbuck tx. to check it out, a mate was going to get one $299 for 5" $399 for 7"
pilot has a better deal if it has problem in the first 30 days they replace it.
Ok, just thought Iâd mention it, anyway AMBEST ripped me off this week 
I got a registered AM Bucks card 6 years ago when I used to run all 48 lower states and used it at every occasion, mostly on Florida runs I would use it at Stoney Creek, Davis truck stop in VA, I built up loads of points and never cashed them in, I would check on line regularly to check my points and when I took my present job the only AM truck stop I get to use is Chicopee MA and every time I go there and ask to claim my points I got the âYou have to go to the store or diner to use themâ answer. If i went to the diner i would offer the card to pay and get âYou need to get vouchers from the fuel desk firstâ, this happened several times then on weds this week I made up my mind to claim the damm points no matter, I stopped for the night, got fuel and said I wanted to claim my points and was given the âYou have to use the store or dinerâ again to which I raised my temper after all the crap they had given me before, I said they had messed me about enough and I want my rebate now. The guy checked the balance and it showed $1.75 
I told the guy that was wrong because there wasloads of points on there that had not been claimed in 6 years âŚâIf you donât claim them in a certain time you loose themâ he said.
âCut the f**kin thing up and throw it then cos its a waste of time and Iâll fill up at the pilot from now onâ I said.
