gps towing programs

Recommended Posts

we spend a lot of time towning a 26' caravan with a van for our buisness (no we are not gypos lol) we often wind up down narrow lanes and in the middle of housing estates because of my old phone gps system but now we have invested in a garmin 760 nuvi so i am hoping i can find updates to the program that will avoid steep hills and narrow lanes

many thanks

Hi furryfriends

Sadly I am sfraid you will not be able to avoid the narrow lanes or steep hills. Garmin units say they have a lorry option which is why I bought one.

This option only works in the U.S. and not in the U.K.

When I went to the NEC in February I went onto the Garmin stand and they confirmed that this was the case. The did, however, advise me to not buy the 2008 version of the upgrade maps but wait until 2009 when this option will be available. They have had so many complaints about lorries getting stuck down narrow lanes they have had to try something as all Satnavs have been getting a bad name because of the problems.

I wait with interest to see if they do actually achieve solving the problems those of us with MH's and C'vans have all the time.
