I am at present doing my Class 1 driving lessons, and in a few weeks could be driving all over the country in said vehicle. What i want to know is what Sat Nav equipment is good for this?

Obviously i need to avoid low bridges and narrow lanes etc etc.. it needs to be portable to move from vehicle to vehicle too.

Any advice would be greatful, thanks

a TomTomGO would be a good choice IMO.
theres lots of POIs available for it.

Points of interest are great, but is there an option with tom tom go to avoid narrow lanes, weight restricted bridges and low bridges?

thats my main concern really

nothing at the moment does weight limit as know one will take responsibility for the data as it changes to often bridge height you will only get a warning fornit NOT avoid them

i have a Sony Ericcson P910i and you can get tom tom for that? with a bluetooth receiver...

would that be ok, or would i be better with a stand alone system.

i used to have a Medion PDA and to be honest that was pretty good... although i only ever used it in the car. unfortunately one smashed window later, it was gone Sad

there is a version for the 910i then you have everything in one device just remember to use you head while using it

hi there
there are weight limit pois out there,but few and far between.
navigon mn5 also has different vehicle classes,from bike to lorry
never had a problem with it set on truck and personally i prefer the mapping of it over tomtom. Ionly use tom tom if its a bad address and just navigate to postcode.
