Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has a TomTom Camper Max Satnav and would be willing to test a couple of routes for me?
I have tested all the main Android apps and some smaller ones and have come to the conclusion that they are all a bit rubbish, even the ones that state they are for Motorhomes and Trucks will still send you on some dodgy routes.
Sygic is a cracking example, the standard Car app is great and the routing is quite good but doesn't have any option for vehicle size/weight, but generally will send you on a good route but the "Truck" version uses a different routing algorithm and although it will avoid low bridges it will send you down some narrow lanes that the standard car offering would avoid. This, I presume is because these roads haven't been flagged as unsuitable.
I found TomTom's interface to be the best and gives good routing but when there is traffic it seems to get panicky and will send you anywhere just to avoid being held up, which made me think is the dedicated camper offering any better? But being £349 it's quite a chunk of money if it isn't any better.
If anyone would be able to help the routes are as below, these are the starting points and destinations I put into TomTom Go app so should give the same points on the Camper Max.
PL33 9AD > PL32 9RF
An Vownder Goth > 6 Copper Terrace, Hayle
A389 > Burlawn
Cheers in advance.
Martin
