Had a look at the Navman My Truck it has large vehicle assist & truck mode. ?(the staff at hardly normal couldn't tell us much about it though ) so we didn't even entertain buying it. Also there is the Navman My escape 11 and also has large vehicle assist.

I haven't used it but if I did any city driving I'd be very tempted if it does what it says on the box.

And the 7" screen is a bonus, I currently use an iPad because of the large screen.

The truck GPS is more to keeping you out of the dead end streets, low bridges and restricted weight streets. Good idea for a bus conversion but not for the average motor home.

We've been using a 7" IGO Primo ("no-name" Chinese) we bought through eBay Aust. For 3 months we have been touring France, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany in a 9m, 5T motorhome and have found the Truck maps invaluable. Apart from speed monitoring and driving time management it did a great job of helping us avoid weight-restricted areas, zones with dimension limits, pollution-free zones and other expensivetraps. It often offered route alternatives, suggested detours when needed and did other useful things like logging driving hours, maximum speeds, itineraries, fuel consumption and more.

To be honest, we couldn't have managed without it, especially when driving in strange cities in rush hour traffic, and consider it an essential item of equipment. At a delivered price of NZD 116 it worked out only a little dearer than upgrading our Navman to European maps ($99) and it leaves the Navman for dead in most respects. The only "negative" was that we found the 7" screen a bit hard to view in bright sunlight, although the supplied clip-on visor did help a bit.

Probably the most useful item we've bought for years!

The OP was do you have one, my answer was Yes.

Your next question was it any good?

My be my response would have been would you like to try mine as I'm not using it?

Nothing like having the option of herding a littler of kitties hey Russell? OK if you insist, if it wouldn't be too pussy pushy of me would I be able to test run yours for our mth away Russell?
