Posted: Wed Feb 22, 2006 3:54 pm Post subject: Low Bridge POI's |
|
|
Could somebody please help? I drive trucks and am very disappointed with my tom tom go 300 when it comes to low bridges, and width restrictions. From buzzzing around some sites (lowbridges.com) for example I see you can upgrade for £9.95. However from somewhere else that I read, I understand (and hence why I've joined) That Robin has a similar if not better download for free.
Please could I be sent this or pointed in the right direction as to where to get it Driving a truck round London is stressful enough and this will surely release some of that pressure. Thanking you in advance [size=18][/size] |

to the forum.
Standard default font size works just fine
You can find Robin's web site HERE
You only need to download and install one of the low bridge poi's
If your lorry is say 12' high, then the 12'6" poi will cover ALL bridges below that height.
I also have a FREE low bridge poi set of files, but they have not been updated for several months, just click the link at the bottom of this post and then look on the POI Files page.
Also have a look in the HGV / Motorhome Lounge forum for more information. |

it depends on what size of truck your driving if its only a 7.5tonner then yes fine use satnav anything bigger i d personally still use a map as for wieght width limits sorry I don't think theres a poi available the sameapplies to weight limits just remember you can only be warned there is a bridge on route it will not avoid it by its self _________________ currently using aponia truck navigation on windows phone.

Thanks guys eventually got onto Robin's site and got the low bridge POI's for 13'0 and under (by the way I drive a 12'9 17ton rigid and use both sat nav and maps... to be sure ..to be sure).
However not being very computer literate am having diffficulty getting them across to my Tom tom. Obviously I connect the two via lead provided and gathered that once tom tom was recognised just a case of dragging the files across? Comp doesn't seem to recognise tom tom once plugged in though and yes I have put the disc in that came with it and tried Any ideas I'm sure I'm gonna feel proper stupid once told probably a real obvious thing

if you have an sd card reader then use this to copy the poi to the map the same as you would with the speed cameras _________________ currently using aponia truck navigation on windows phone. Good bye IOS don't let the door hit you on the way out .
