These types of sat navs take into account sharp turns, low bridges, narrow roads and roads that are not truck-friendly. They allow custom truck routing to avoid traffic, calculate delivery times, and have speed camera alerts.
An HGV sat nav allows the driver to enter the dimensions of the vehicle which will aid the sat nav in taking the large vehicle down only suitable roads.
What is the best sat nav for multi-drop drivers?
