Anyone had a look at Garmins Dezl 560LT "The ultimate lorry and towing navigator"? or is it too early to have a view?

Got mine yesterday and so far so good. Downloaded cams and voices without trouble[touch wood as treets melt in my hands] and looking forward to some improvement over the next 3 months on Continent.
Very pleased with the mounting as its the same as the old Street Pilot and mine was nicked but impossible to take off dash so nice to be able to pop the Dezl straight in.
Bought from Handtec as recommended on here and seem very competant as a business.
Seems very useful to be able to easily switch from Motorhome to Truck to Car and vary featurers along the way.
Also you will need to tone down the volume as very loud compared with others.
I would appreciate some advice as to what camera would be a good option to plug in. |

Just noticed that in the menus there is a box for speed cams alerts that because I have not used the Garmin freebie for speed cams this is disabled and after putting all PGPSW cpeed cams on this IMHO should be flagged to ON.
Like the co- ordinates feature used on Google map as can quickly bung in rest areas if I like the look of them.
Also like the setting of Prompted for routes as all options shown for you to pick as desired. |

How does Garmins Dezl 560LT compare with other hgv specific units?
Will it stop me getting stuck down a so called B road in Cornwall which turns into a narrow lane with rocks and brambles on either side and a tractor coming the other way!!? |
