Avtex Sat Nav

But it has all the acsi sites and motor caravan parking for UK and Europe,and as it was easier to put in post code,which sounds a much more reliable in the uk

Hi, I'm new here, looking for a good satnav, but totally confused by choice and shocked by prices!

Tried Co-Pilot app on i-phone, but hard to see and voice directions not working. Other half is colour blind and struggles with the lack of contrast.

we both like Tom Tom, ours are well out of date though.

question: do you use a basic Tom Tom, or an expensive truck/caravan option? If so, which one?

thank you!

i have two tomtoms....one old (though i think of it as my new one) an XXL classic, which has a large screen, euro mapping (updated every few years) and more POI files than you could shake a stick at. this is the MH unit, large screen works well.

i also have a very old to tomtom One V3 which has a similar euro map and all the same POI files. i use this primarily in the car and is my MH back up unit when abroad for months at a time.

despite their age, they both work perfectly well, i have them set to 'fastest route' and they do whats on the tin.

i have a very flashy built in dash satnav in the van but have no interest in using it, the tomtoms cant be bettered for what i want them to do.

i can even use the One on my electric bike as it has a conmection to the bike's control panel.....set it to bike routes and it keeps you away from busy traffic.

a refurbed 'classic xxl' is peanuts from tomtom or ebay. ive seen other brands in action and wouldnt go near one.....any of them

I'm still using a TomTom Go 700 that I bought s/hand off eBay, so it must be all of twelve years old. Used withe 'common-sense' plug-in module and it's fine.

The only specialist option now from TomTom seems to be  this one

Basically it's a truck one but you can set it for either a car or a van with the additional option of putting the outfit size in. Although some of their models will accept the Camper maps it's not down to actual model but serial number which you have no way of knowing until you get it in your hand.

Mine is just standard. No trick or caravan. I use that and common sense quite happily.
