i think you be better with a screen system though i have seen alot of couriers use pda and things like the ttgo and navman icn seen popular from a PERSONAL point of veiw i would touch that sytem if you want a fully fitted system then my be going for some thing by pioneer or clarion might be better idea
also with smart nav sytem if you delivery changes or your doing multidrop then is could cost a bit in phone call charges _________________ currently using aponia truck navigation on windows phone. Good bye IOS don't let the door hit you on the way out .
Oh the joys of being a courier.

For a complete review of SmartNav try GPS Warehouse.
SmartNav is a good all-round system that will be fitted and if you don't go for the screen then you'll be given turn by turn voice instructions over and above your stereo. You will need to make a free call to the operator to enter the address, they'll compute your journey and then within seconds send the journey information to the black box in-car. It won't look like you have a SatNav system installed and will let you have that piece of mind, but it does have the extra problems of talking to a human at the other end but this can sometimes be a godsend because not all the times you can program in the location you want to goto because the map data cannot find it so the operator at the other end will use a number of different systems to pin-point where the location is or get you as close to the destination as possible. |

Depending on your budget if you want the best in built head unit with sat nav then go for the Pioneer Avic X1. It has a 6.5" screen with a built in DVD player.
It goes for around £1400.[/url] |
