I'm afraid I have no direct experience of either the GO5150 or the ProCab stuff, so these are only general thoughts....

We've looked at the ProCab add-on in the past and it includes some good POI listings which are useful to Truck drivers, such as low bridges, width restrictions, truck stops etc,
However, at the time, it didn't seem to offer much more than is available for free from sites like PGPSW. From an admitedly quick look over their website, I can't see anything that's changed since then.


As far as I can see though, the BIG issue is that when it is used with a standard TomTom there is no way to make the unit avoid those low bridges etc. when calculating routes.

The 5150 does do that for it's OWN height/width/weight POI data, so the only unknown question is how good that data is!
