Hi Dave. It might be a good idea to delete the contents of your other two identical posts, otherwise you may get answers scattered all over all thee.  |

Just occasionaly M8T why not have a try at actually answering the question on the first reply?
You often come up with some good advice eventually, but there always seems to be some sort of rebuke first!
Just saying..... 
Dave, the 5150 TRUCK has a 5" Capacitive (i.e. multi-touch) screen and an internal SIM card and modem for LIVE Services,
The 7100 TRUCK is 4.2" multi-touch and requires a subscription to TomTom WEBFLEET and the installation of the LINK 410/510 in the vehicle in order to get LIVE services.
The 7150 TRUCK is 5" multi-touch and also needs the WEBFLEET sub and LINK to get LIVE services
The 9150 TRUCK has a built-in SIM card and modem for LIVE and to be honest, I haven't found many differences in the specs between the 9150 and the 5150... I must be missing something!

Because in this case I know very little about TT, only acquired knowledge from the experts such as yourself so in this case could not come up with any constructive comments about the subject, other than politely to point out that the OP has created three identical threads, which can not only cause confusion if they are answered in three different places, but is also against the forum rules. Now I don't consider myself a forum policeman, so my only motive was to prevent the first mentioned confusion.
Happy Christmas to all. |

I'll answer directly.
Non of them, go for iGO PRIMO with truck, can be set up for 1 or 2 drivers, number of axles, length, weight etc etc.
However they are difficult to get hold of.
