Tomtom 7100 Truck

mark1968 · Posted: Sun Jul 03, 2011 10:03 am Post subject: Tomtom 7100 Truck

I am a long distance lorry driver and need a HGV sat nav as I am getting fed up with my current tomtom sending me near low bridges and weight restrictions.

I am looking at the Snooper 7000 or a Tomtom 7100 Truck.

Has anyone got one and if so what do they think?

Also are you able to i,port your own POI files?

Many thanks

Mark

Never used either, I still use a TT 720 Go and put an 8GB SD card in it then install the Europe_Truck navcore and UK/Europe Map and POI's onto the SD Card, with the card in the Go 720 will boot from the card. Best of both and cheaper in the long run.

Pray tell, where do you (legally!) get hold of the Truck maps to download and put on your own SD card?

I know Truck maps for some "normal" TomTom models are available on SD card (eg from here) but they are not cheap! (£168 inc VAT).

I've never seen them available for download from TomTom unless maybe you already have a business account. Their Truck website says

You could also buy it from the Freight Transport Association(FTA) website last time I looked

I have a 750 so not sure if the software will work, hence thinking of 7100

you can buy them legitimatly on line and via many truckstops etc Laughing

for the OP have a look at pronav or the new actis from directions if you have an andriod or iphone have a look at renault truck nav europe basicly its a badged version of copilot truck on iphone also garmin do a truck model

if it says its a trucks specific model it will do the same as the snooper and tomtom

An odd thing for a moderator to say?

I thought the same but it wasn't my place to make a comment.

Maybe we should continue this part of the discussion in the mods forum?
