It works pretty well, but is so old school, it doesn't really provide enough detail. Plus, when I am pulling a HAZMAT load, I need routes that don't take me on NO HM roads, or centers of cities.  I've ordered a Rand McNally 7" Truckers GPS, man, cannot wait to get that.
I've been through Ark, MO, IL, AL, MS, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, Pittsburg and now am waiting on a load in West Virginia (very pretty country here). After I load, it's back the Texas, gawd I need some BBQ.

Seeing the US from behind a windshield.  Quite a few of my teams are retired couples. Want to see the US and do so in a truck.
