[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 5090891, member: 198"] It’s not all that slow unless you’re a runner/gunner. And using the touch screen is a breeze once your used to it. But it’s possible to use the keyboard for many things instead. Many centers are using the DIAD 6 earlier than planned because there aren’t enough 5s so the software apparently isn’t all there yet. Ours only uses Google maps for navigation and it doesn’t include our own “snaps” so allot of newer drivers are having trouble finding certain rural stops. LOL. For those of us with more area knowledge and experience as old school drivers, that is not an issue. I suggest relying on the touchscreen first before trying the keyboard “shortcuts.” And if you end up using one without the correct cradle in the truck it’s no big deal. It doesn’t need one so just put in it a cup holder. The 6’s cradle is only a mount and charger for us right now. These are new so the batteries should last all day unless you have the screen on in navigation all day. Try using the “map” instead and only for stops you’re having trouble finding at night. [/QUOTE]
