The new TruckMate system from Snooper costs only £399.99 and I think they've improved the maps and iterface a lot recently.

It's a GPS designed with HGV's in mind, for the UK you can set height, width and incline restrictions and it will calculate the best route.

Also includes a database of speed cameras as standard.

I wouldnt get 2 excited a the mapping won't be complete yet all hgv units will have weight, width length etc. opptions as standard also many of the units will be able to use the pgpsw cameras which fom memory is much cheeper than the snooper subscription.
personally id wait untill the data has 90% coverage

The industry have finally launched a reasonable, truck dedicated sat nav system. It is called the pronav and looks great
Very Happy

The Pronav is now listed in the sat nav system of www.maplin.co.uk
. It is priced at £199.99 and you can £15-£20 knocked off by signing up for their newsletter. The system will be available in 4 weeks. You can request a text alert via their website to notify you when its arrived. I will be buying one immediately. I have 24 years class I experience. 10 on the continent before spain had road maps. And would recommend one of these to drivers old and new. I see comments ridiculing the idea of a truck sat nav and wonder how any professional driver can ever think tey know enough. You never stop learning and any aid in todays chaos of a road network is a good idea. And for the equivalent of less than 2 days wages, its a bargain
