Most of my drops/collections are regular, so i usually only use mine purely for the E.T.A if the office ring.

A satnav is a map.
Not only that, it is a safe map because it sits in the corner of your windscreen, allows you to pre-plan your route and doesn’t need you to find the page or look at a piece of paper on your lap while you are driving. Also if it is a proper truckers satnav it will plan your route around bridges and weight limits, you tell me where you can get a paper map with weight limits.
If you don’t realise that satnavs (and knowledge of how to use them properly) are a good thing your a bloody caveman
Couldn,t have put it better myself.
Trailer makers issuing prat navs for free?, could be worth their while.
The sat nav generation stuff enough trailers into bridges, be intersting to know how many bridge bashers are sad navers.

Map everytime but then I do the same route day in day out lol
That make me remember, a driver at a place I worked at, had a route 3 years same route would always have the map open on the route, one day he came to work (I kid you not) asked boss for a map of his route as he had left his at home, boss said don’t you know your route by now, driver said yes but you never no when I have to divert, I don’t know the area very well. 
I use my Snooper all the time. Every day for me is different. I have a mixture of old and new customers, so I can’t rely on my knowledge to get me where I need to go. My Snooper gives me real time traffic updates, and is also a bluetooth hands-free device, so I am always aware of what is ahead, and I can place/receive calls en route. I also have a map, as the order in which I do my collections is up to me and the sat-nav can’t help plot the best route, only how to get to each one. As someone else on here said, it is horses for courses. Use the right aid to get you where you need to be. 
well i must be a cave man - and i’m proud of it! i have no interest in owning a sat nav, that may change if i went on the continent admiditly as i’m not too familiar with that neck of the woods - but we usually take our lasses sat nav on holidays abroad and i usually fall out with it and revert back to looking at the map and aducating myself. all of my mates use the things and if i ring up and ask them for directions (before i look it up) not one of them can help unless its a regular drop because they followed the voice in the window! the most technology i have in map form is google maps/earth if i want to know what the area is like for parking over night. sat navs just dont interest me i’m afraid, i can usually predict my arrival time to within 15 mins and if the matrix boards say theres a problem on the route i’m on i ring the highways agency and get a report from one of the folk there.
Well, a sat nav isn’t much good for very long without a ‘working’ plug in power source , if thats been disabled , it won’t work for very long without a power input. …a map doesn’t have that problem 
I used a satnav last week and had to pull over , & consult the map after the satnav had tried to send me through a housing estate, then down a realy narrow lane in the back & beyond 
I’m not saying that they don’t have their uses, I have been thankful on some occasions that I have had the sat nav , that’s why I use my map for the main planning
i find google maps brilliant on my smart phone type in a customers name it comes straight up, i can get a birds eye view of where im going, and i can see if any problems are going to be present. the number of times ive said to the boss are you sure that address is right as its in the middle of a housing estate and not an industrial area.
Maps, every time. With over £300 worth of Phillips county maps I’m buggered if I am going to moth ball them all only to spend a similar amount on a good enough ■■■■ Nav.
Not only that, I take more note of the places I go if I plan my route myself and study a map before setting off. I couldn’t bare having a ■■■■ Nav blubbering on at me when I have a bit of grey matter I can use.
