The difference is these aren't WEBFLEET devices that required a telematics install and subscription.

Then they were Webfleet enabled. Splitting hairs. The new devices aren't, they're bog standard PNDs with Truck mapping.

Hmmm...

Also spitting hairs! Laughing

But if this is a bog-standard device then it needs to be sold on the normal TT website and in normal shops.
TT's business website is the most unfriendly place if you aren't interested in Webfleet.

Looking at their website and the box it does look like they are webfleet enabled.
