A decent truck sat nav will set you back £300+ anyway with some of the more expensive ones being like £600.
A weeks wages on a sat nav is a lot.I haven’t used a truck HGV sat nav in a while but I remember clearly if you are driving in London it will often try to take you stupidly long ways to avoid weight limits. Which is a pain in the ■■■ when the only way to some of your deliveries is though multiple either 7.5t or 18t weight limits.
The sat nav will not know you have permission to takes these roads.That’s my point , would you really pay £300-£600 just to get traffic alerts , more money than sense spring to mind
I can understand if you brought one to use as a sat nav then changed job to say a a-b trunk run so then just used it for traffic alerts , tv ( snooper ) though
I used mine all over London ( snooper ) , building sites mainly , and I didn’t notice it going the long way round to be honest
Maybe they are a bit better now.
I’ve had it even with google maps though. Although to be fair I’ve had deliveries in which I have to drive through bus gates/ bus only roads
