Perhaps you’d think most sat nav devices are the same, which there would be no classification between them, and the main purpose is to guide you to find your way out. But a sat nav device that simply shows the road map, the directions and where you should make turns etc, will not be sufficient for some bigger-size vehicles, such as a truck.
Truck is big vehicle, which will mostly get prohibited to dive into many routes in the city center. There might be certain road blocks, weak bridges or some roads have been marked with restrictions not to let those trucks enter. In such a case, truck drivers cannot simply depend on an average sat nav GPS device.
ProNav is a sat nav device that is specially designed for the truckers. The device will base around the size of the vehicle which tells those obstacles along your traveling path, such as those low bridges, narrow or restricted lanes that trucks are not advisable at all to go in. Having the ProNav installed in a truck, it’ll always ensure the truckers to get to the eligible routes, so they won’t stuck at those narrow lanes and illegal lanes, which will lead them to hit an accident or to get fined.
The key features of ProNav are as follows:
- Dynamic navigation based on;
Vehicles dimensions (e.g. height & weight)
Legal restrictions (e.g. no trucks allowed)
Other warning data (e.g. cross winds)
London Loading Bays & Penalty Charge Hotspots
POI Data for Professional Drivers (e.g. HGV petrol stations)
- Seven Digit Postcode Routing
- Six Months Free Safety Camera Alerts
- Easily Switches to Regular Car Navigation
- Over 40,000 other points of interest (non HGV)

This seems like the answer to most drivers problems but where can you get ProNav? The links to Maplin Electronics are met by a web page saying “No Products found”

There are a number of restrictions that the truck drivers face, while they are on the go. These are pertaining to their vehicle and its use on the various routes. One way to avoid such restrictions as hurdles is to do the route planning; but what if there was no time to plan the journey? In such cases, Truck sat-nav systems are extremely useful as they save the time spent on route planning and assist you even in those circumstances, which were not foreseen during the route planning. It also save the time and fuel of the vehicle because there is no need to turn the vehicle back after finding that the route is not suitable for the vehicle. The truck sat-nav warns beforehand, about such roads and therefore relieves the truck drivers from the hassles.
