Hi everybody I’m just asking a question. Thank you got all the replies to a previous post. Anyway I’m saving for a snooper but in the mean time if anybody has any reviews and knowledge of this product could you let me know if it works ok I will save my money and not bother with a snooper. The satnav is this one.

Many thanks Paul.
Brought one of the Trucktables one a couple of months back.
To be honest I haven’t used it a great deal as only drive class 2 every now and again at the moment, but I wanted one that would give me the best route for lorries as my Tom Tom only gives me the route for cars.
Would say for the money you can’t really go wrong.

Hi. I have got trucktables satnav for 2 months now. It was alright until last week when it stopped working. It’s just looking for GPS signal all the time. Chris the guy who sells them didn’t bother to answer my emails so far. It only comes with one month warranty.
I purchased the snooper db8500 and found it okay apart from the odd route planning, after a while I just got fed up of being sent miles away from a decent route, so sent it back. I’ve now got a TomTom 5250pro, and to be honest I don’t think it’s much better. TT back up is next to none existent and it must of taken a full week of emails and phone calls to get the device to work correctly. So far it’s not been that bad, it has the odd glitch now and again but overall it’s okay.
If you haven’t the money for a Snooper or TT Pro I’d give the truck tables nav a go.
I’ve used the truck tables one around Europe, its pretty good for the majority of places, tried to send me up a mountain track, in Bulgaria, when there was a perfectly good motorway I could use, and it doesn’t have the latest road layouts for Stockholm, although a lot of the roads there are still being worked on. But overall, for the money, its not too bad.

I had that happen on mine , took about 3 resets off the GPS receiver in Tools- GPS Info.
Found I has to reset outside as if it doesn’t pick a satellite up it won’t reset. Don’t try it indoors, you need to give it chance to see a satellite.
Worked on mine, worth a try on yours.
Last time I wanted to contact Chris, I sent a text and he got back to me quick. Not sure how often he checks emails but text was quick
Hi all I said I would give some info if it helps anybody. Well I’ve had this truckable satnav for about 2 weeks and I’ve only just found my way home!! No only joking. I can honestly say that it’s perfect for what I need. put in your dimensions, address which took abit of getting used to. And away you go. Flashes up with possible speed camera location which can be abit anyoing at times but not a major problem, you can save roads to favourites and write in the name of where you are. So for me it’s just the job, I’m downloading some movies onto a extra sd card I’ve got to see how the movie player works. If it oy last a yr or so till I can save for a so called better one then it will have been money well spent, but at the moment I will keep my money in my pocket rather than buy a snooper. Time will tell, I hope this helps some people.
