It is not a sat nav, it is a machine that foreign firms send loading and unloading addresses to their drivers.
To save on phone bills.
Another bit of kit they use is a performance monitor of the truck.

The wife as one her side as she reckons I always go the wrong way :open_mouth: Might be true, as I only use mine for traffic and speedcameras, I don’t need a satnav to tell me where to go :smiley:

I have one that work supplied, they can also use it to track me and send me messages… Then I use my phone sat nav when I need it. So I have two screens.

I have my TomTom but alsomy phone in a hholderon the dash, the phone has my truck timer app running on it as I am on anologe tacho but occasionally I use Google maps or ordinance survey maps on my phone if in a remote area. The OS maps are great.

I’ve got 2. One is a truck specific one which goes to work with me, the other is an old car one that stays in my drawer at home, and which I’m loathed to throw away. :question:

I’ve got my truck one and my car one as backup if I need it. Plus I do have my phone which is actually better at it than the SatNavs are.
