Hgv Sat Nav

I have a Snooper Truckmate for five years. I update the speed camera data base (paid for) and the maps. They have sent me a new SD card when the map update was huge.

I’ve looked to replace it but it does seem to be mostly intelligent. A couple of quirks … tried to direct me under a stupid bridge up at J9/J10 M42. Going to M1, it seems to want me to get off on the A1 sliproad, then rejoin the motorway.

The traffic is ok but I tend to look at Waze (free phone app) for that. The TMC relies on HA telling them about it and often they don’t; Waze being customer-reported tends to be quicker.

It’s probably not the easiest for re-routing so check if the newer ones still require keypresses. I know one of the other drivers has a truck nav that’s all voice activated.

I carry a bridge height map but frankly the only thing I trust is my eyes when it comes to it. Not trailer/bridge heights.
