I use a Floureon 7” truck gps search ebay

Oh but I do because mine have all of my own observations plus when we visited and how much a site or Aire cost etc.

The cost will be out of date though

To those using an iPad can I ask how you find it bearing in mind the standard iPad does not have a gps chipset, or are you all using the cellular version which does?

I use a standard iPad hooked up by bluetooth to a Garmin Glo2 gps unit. Works fine.

Hi Rick I’ve just googled the Glo2 and looks ideal. Cheaper than getting an iPad with GPS chipset and more accurate. Thanks for the tip. Chris

I use a Tomtom truck (6000 series) just type in your dimensions and axle weights and it's good to go. It may send you on a route slightly longer than you would like but it's only responding to the dimensions you input.
Have one in the moho and have one in the 44t artic. I've tried Garmin but wasn't impressed. Google maps I dont think can be adjusted to accommodate different speed restrictions of the size of the vehicle, so route planning/timings are not very accurate.
The Tomtom I have found to be bang on with timings of journey with the traffic updates. I've no experience with manufacturers fitted units so cant comment.

I bought an Xgody 715 in 2018, it works ok on routes and I did like the big screen. They emailed me a map update but neither my desktop or laptop recognise the device over USB.. so I either soldier on or recycle ..

I think in future I might go for Waze on a 7inch tablet...

Any advice on either subject welcome...
