Most lorry drivers go for TomTom. Not the cheapest but certainly easy to use.

It is easily updatable and with a cheap upgrade it will be able to show u where traffic jams are and route u round it.

Also has great options for POI's (Points of interest). If u need to find the nearest supermarket for example u can download and install with ease.

Go for the navigo posted in the bargain room and stick on the tomtom maps and crack files. Works exactly as tomtom and does a bit more also works out about half the cost.

Cheers for the replys, the navigo seems like a real bargain! However I have just stumbled upon my next problem - there is no cigarette lighter in the car.

I have had a look to see if I could see the wires behind the hole but no joy. I guess they will be there but folded back on itself and cable tied up somewhere behind the dash - no way im taking that out.

Only wires I can easily get access to is the ISO adapter for power to the stereo - that must have a 12v switched live - just not sure how safe it will be to splice into that.

If anyone has any other ideas let me know..
