I have a satnav app on my iPhone from Navigon, it is a top class product. The chap who sold me the motorhome had a Snooper Truckmate (which he wanted to keep) into which you programmed your vans width, hieght and length (and weight?) and any calculated routes took this into consideration avoiding steep hills, low bridges tight bends etc etc...so in my curiosity I've now noticed Navigon have an upgrade for my iPhone app which now incorporates the above, albeit at £70...so, do people tend to use these things or are they seen as 'gimmicks' and you all get along fine with a standard satnav of whatever make ?
the only downside of the iPhone satnav app (havent needed to use it in the van yet) is its a small screen and the windscreen on the Frankia is a long way away !
