Please don't post a question in multiple forums. The answers get scattered between the threads, which causes confusion.
I'll lock this one. Any answers to this thread please.

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