Navevo launch SatNav for HGV / Van Drivers

I rang Navevo to ask about users adding their own PoI sets. The guy I spoke to was very helpful but confirmed that this will not be an option when the product is first put on the market. The facility may come along in future.

I have 8 years Class 1 experience 5 on containers & 3 as an agency driver & Wow! I'm excited! with the imminent release of the Pronav its features are ticking all the right boxes for me. I will be getting one immediately upon its release. My Garmin 2720 has consistently performed very well, 98% of journeys have been calculated correctly without modification & I would not be without it, but I sitll can't wait to get my mitts on the Pronav. decent price too! see you in the queue........

I've pinged the UK PR asking what the situation is. I was assured Navevo/Maplin would contact me prior to launch but this never happened.

I'll chase for a review unit. Interestingly I see mention of speed cameras in the spec on Maplin's page.

Welcome aboard! That's great to hear, custom POI support is an essential in any serious offering these days so that is very welcome news.

Any info on when we might be able to get hold of a review unit? I hold a HGV1 as does another of our team so we're naturally desperately keen to test and more importantly we would very much like to be the first to publish a full review!

Nuff said

But please do keep monitoring and posting in the forums. It's always appreciated when a manufacturer takes the time to post, says a lot about their ethos etc.

Well hats off to The Navevo team for joining our forum and keeping us up to date with their product news.

Welcome aboard.

Kinda makes you want to look at their stuff very closely if they're gonna be in listening distance.

Good stuff :-)

Has anyone actually tried one of these yet? I need to buy another Sat Nav as my son always seems to have mine. I was going to buy another cheapy current one being a Myguide 3100 which has only let me down a couple of times trying to take me up some very narrow roads. But as I only do LGV part-time spending an additional £140 is against my nature unless it's worth it.
