Hi Campers,
This may be of interest to Motorhomers that would like vehicle size on their sat nav.I was looking for a sat nav four years ago when I first bought my van,I was also between jobs in the printing trade and was doing a bit of 7.5 ton agency driving and was looking for a sat nav to help with the delivery's as there was high pressure to do your drops with in the taco timing.I found the Pro nav PNN200 had delivery bays and industrial estates and the Vehicle size could be input making the job a lot quicker.and a lot cheaper than the snooper and other expensive units.The Pro Nav was a bit pricey on the extras ie safety camera and extra for the western Europe mapping,and after the return from our European trip last year it was needing new mapping etc. I started to look around for a replacement just before Christmas,when an email came from Pro Nav offering £70 trade in for my old PNN200 to up grade to their new PNN 350,but it was only for UK & ROI. I jumped at it a bit to quick as I did not know if it would upgrade for western Europe. A couple of months later they brought out the PNN350 with Western Europe with the same deal,so I kicked my self for jumping in to fast,and I am stuck with a unit that won't upgrade.So yesterday I was looking around for some way to solve the problem maybe even buying a cheep Tom Tom from Halfords just for Europe,( but with no vehicle size on it).I needed to contact ProNav for a safety camera up date so thought It may be worth a try to ask if the could do any thing about Western Europe Maps for My PNN350 and was told could get one at £49.99p,that made my day.If any of you are looking for a cheap Pro Nav with vehicle size on it while looking on E-bay yesterday I see Navevo ltd the suppliers of Pro Nav are selling refurbished units with warranty on the auction site for £69-£80ish and rebuilt with the latest software Just waiting for the chip to arrive.One small thing I am not sure if you can load POI on it and never tried it on the old one,I may need help from some one on that.
Regards Snowbirds.
