Anyone got or used the specially designed for truck satnavs?
been looking at getting one as im starting to do european stuff now, and my current one is uk only…so instead of upgrading my car one, wouldnt mind investing in a proper truck one.
they any good? worth it or?..
pronav is the one i have been looking at.
you will prob get all different kinds of answers as everyone has their own preference, but i have got the tom tom 7000, works great and have had no problems with it so far… the only reason i went for tom tom was because i have had a few car versions and they have never let me down, the tom tom does seem to be a bit more expensive than some others, but as i said, different people have different preferences.
goodluck in what ever one you choose
Get the new pronav 300.

ok thanks! will take a look at that in a min
was looking at buying something like this for now…eurpean coverage is pretty good also!
I use a snooper s7000. Can’t recommend it enough. Haven’t used it in europe though so can’t comment on that side. Screens a good size. I came from a Tom Tom car one, and my snooper took a bit of getting used to but after that I can’t fault it. Quite expensive though which is a downside. Only thing that annoys me with it is when you use it as a map it’s a bit slow to the touch. Hope thus helps.

The pronav is a good bit of kit uk company aswell I’ve reviewed not long back for the link in signature I’d recommend it
hi,ive got both the tom tom 7000 and the snooper 7"truck special built in radio and tv!both good sat navs for trucks but for ease of use out of the box so to speak the tom tom. 
there much difference between the 200 and 300 pronavs?
not looking to spend more then about 120 tho…but im quite swayed towards the pronavs if im honest.
I’ve always used a garmin in Europe with no problems at all, including eastern europe and Greece.
also!
sorry for the constant quetions, but the one i posted the link for, seems to be different from the other pro navs? it extra software? 
has lots of stuff about driving hours built in apparantly! sounds very intresting if so!
ive used the s7000 in europe and its spot on couldnt fault it at all.The only problem i have with it is when driving in london,where it wont send you down 18t limits which are from 6pm to 6am and it thinks its a 24hr ban 
very good bit of kit 
But road atlas FFS.
How do you think we all got anywhere befor sat navs were invented ? Most are not completely acurate anyway. Get a good truck road atlas for a fraction of the price and if you can’t find a certain address in a certain town phone them or ask for directions.
I have never had a sat nav, never will have a sat nav… driven lorries since 1975 all over the UK, Europe and the USA, never needed any stupid sat nav. Real drivers don’t need them.
lovely attitude there…
next time i come on here and ask about road atlases you will be the first i ask…
now if you dont mind…
He’s old skool, not a chance of converting them plus too proud to use modern technology

Oh God!!!. I wondered how long it would take , whenever any body on here asks a constructive question about sat-navs, you ALWAYS get the old “buy a map routine” Do you still write with a quill, do you have a black & white tv, casette player, ride a horse to work, for Christs sake change the record (or Mp3 track )
quote… “Real drivers don,t need them”…unquote. FFS
since my PDA has suddenly decided to die, I`m looking at buying a new TOMTOM on the business account, and let the accountant & taxman pay for it…but the question is which one?

A ‘good truck road atlas’ is unlikely to list every little street. Stopping to ask for directions can often cause jams and
take up valuble time.
Finding a working BT phone box to make a call might be a challenge in some areas.
has anyone used this softwear that is on this satnav at all?
