[QUOTE="Grindstone, post: 5101697, member: 86212"] Honestly, there's not a lot that I DO like about it over the DIAD 5. One thing it has going for it is the accuracy of the scanner, and that's about it, imo. It's just not as efficient of a device. For instance, on the 5, to view my daily pickups, hit escape button then 1. Same thing with viewing air, which is 1 screen button press. On the 6, have to hit vertical ellipses on top corner of screen, then have to hit 5 freakin' screen buttons to un-select different types of work, then hit confirm. Then have to repeat same process to get full itinerary list. The 6 has an option to view edd in 3 different views. Only 1 of them will let you see what's sig required on the screen before scanning the package. That view will also only show you 5 stops. The other two options the font is smaller, they show 9 stops and 15, but minimum info on them, like address, hin, package count. No quick button scrolling through edd, have to scroll with finger or use up/down buttons to scroll one stop at a time. The 6 also DOES NOT NOTIFY YOU WHEN SMART PICKUPS CANCEL OUT. When you scan 1st package in multi-piece stop, it shows list of all other packages but not total packages left, like on the 5. There's more, but I need to stop. 🤣 [/QUOTE]
