Has any one had any experience of the motorhome and caravan satnav, is it good investment or waist of money or will the car satnav do the same job.

It is only for that reason, that I didn't mention it in my post, although I do agree that it's a smashing piece of kit, and more realistic with Truck routes than my TT 720 Truck maps are.Has problems with supposed free for life map updates as other threads have exposed

And in the case of the Chinese Sat Navs, there's not a lot of difference in price, between the car units and the Truck specific units.I think a lot of people trust a sat nav way to much and stop reading road signs. Not sure but would you lot who have been sent down narrow roads with the camper van sat nav not be better looking at truck dedicated ones?
Phablet? I can use my Tablet I have a Hudl 2 and it finds the satellites almost instantly. I dont use it as a sat nav due to lack of mount options but i will be installing the iGO software for when we go away and use it as backup. I did find my 5" Android sat nav a tad small when on the van dash so got a hanger holder that sits under the rear view mirror. Something like this but i got mine on ebay America.We have had various sat navs and like TomTom dedicated units but they are a bit small screen wise so we've been experimenting with a 7" phablet running the TomTom app, Co-Pilot and currently Sygic which is very good. The ONLY downside we've found with Sygic is getting the 3rd party POIs to work, such as aires etc - hubby's found a way to do it but it's a bit fiddly however the basic sat Sygic nav system itself is in our view better than the others ... it's early days yet so will keep trying it and see how we get on.

It's a tablet but takes a phone sim card so can be used as a phone too, hence it being called a 'phablet' (no, I did NOT make that name up!)Phablet? I can use my Tablet I have a Hudl 2 and it finds the satellites almost instantly.

It's created when a mobile phone and a tablet have been allowed to breed! I suppose it could have been called a thone or tone!

Although I've experienced that with the TomTom, I've never experienced it with the Nozatec, using iGo primo. I set it up to give me a spoken warning on the approach to a turn or junction. I find it really efficient, but am always aware not to rely upon it totally.My main issue with dedicated sat navs was reaching motorway junctions before the sat nav what made junctions with more than one exit a challenge.

Camper sat navs are basically truck sat navs with camping POIs added. One way to avoid narrow roads is to put larger dimensions in but that will probably mean unnecessarily long journeys at times.I think a lot of people trust a sat nav way to much and stop reading road signs.

I was on a bike so no sound. Some of the junctions would have 3-4 on slip roads and 3-5 off on the main route north to south in Holland. I was also using a sat nav with only 64MB RAM. Your Nozatec should have 128MB and a far better processor. My android what is a 5" phone with no sim card is 1GB RAM and duel core making the iGO Primo run faster than Usain Bolt.Although I've experienced that with the TomTom, I've never experienced it with the Nozatec, using iGo primo.

Absolutely.Not a great difference but having junction view is great
