Sat nav

have a look at COPILOT GPS. download to phone or tablet. I just check out route on google earth and virtually drive the last few miles on my laptop.  

If you have a smartphone use Google maps, especially if you have Android auto in your car and can use your cars screen.

or WAZE which, like Google Maps is real time ie it'll tell you the congested routes and suggest alternatives.

I have the Garmin Avtex 2 and have been very impressed with it.  Is it worth the money ?  Probably not but life is like that isn't it ?

As an avid supporter of Co_pilot for many years, it has now been bought out by Trimble and it's no longer a one off purchase, but a yearly subscription. 

For existing users (and I know there are quite a few on here), your current software will not now be updated, but you can swap to the latest Trimble version with perpetual licences for the version you originally bought.

Having just done it, it is very simple to do so as long as you have the email and password you used to buy it originally.  I had to re-download the maps, as the original app stays on your device until/unless you uninstall it.

To buy 'new' CoPilot is currently £25.99 per year for the Camper/caravan version (in which you input the dimensions of your outfit), with full access to European maps.  The car version is about 14 quid if you're happy to do your own height/weight restriction checks by other means.

I bought one last year (having tried to update my previous much maligned but, to us, very trustworthy Snooper with dire consequences). We’ve found the Avtex Two very good, so far, and the live journey timing was extremely useful in warning us about delays approaching Portsmouth when en route to the IoW.

I have the avtex 660 campa. had it now for a couple of years no complaints as yet ,I would like to know that if booking a site and the directions to the site tells you not to use your sat nav does that mean the caravan club sat nav also that is design for club sites , not tried it in this situ asyet 

The club sites on your sat Nav will probably be to the postcode rather than the actual site, at least, that’s my experience. I always use the club's written instructions on a first visit to a site.

I find that generally mine are to the door which is strange

If you rely solely on your satnav for final approach it will take you to the site but may take you via a low bridge, narrow lane or some other impediment and so follow club directions on final approach
