truck sat nav

Just a warning the downloads on the pnavi website are incomplete and some files are missing. This will mean potential loss of functionality if you load tbe files onto your satnav. PWILMO is doing some workon this and is in contact with pnavi. Hopefully he will come along and let us know what the situation is.

I undersatnd that you will lose driver alerts but am not sure which ones.

It maybe prudent to wait until the situation is clarified before updating.

Had a bit search around but can’t find an “avoid u turns” facility either :Sad:

Here you gou Jockaneezer,

Screen on, Tap More - Settings (tools)- Route Settings.
Next to the vehicle profile you are using, there should be a blue dot, and settings (tools).
Tap Settings. Scroll to bottom of page - Uncheck tick box for "Disable U Turns On Any Road".

Now you shouldn't be redirected out of your way unnecessarily, if you miss a turning. :Wink:

HTH,

Jock.
 
Hmm, I don't have that option at the bottom of the settings list :Sad:

Jock,

That may not be available on the unit CB has, it is probably a function provided by the update that I did to your unit.

It might not be on the unit Jockaneezer has either then. :Sad:

I am using a truck profile, but possibly it's not there if only using a car profile.

Cheers,

Jock.

Now I have engaged my brain and familiarised myself with the device I am quite impressed, especally for the price. I still have one major issue though.

Where do we get system updates from, I have looked at the Navie Extras website which is IGO online content portal, however my branded Noza Tec device is not listed as a supported OEM product.

I did consider downloading the Navie Toolbox and letting it analyse my SD card, it does give you the option to backup your device before updating anything. Has anyone tried this, or found another way to get system updates?
 
Well I installed Navie extras toolkit and attempted to connect the Sat Nav and the SD card neither were recongnised by the application. Oh well was worth a try.

I have tried all the usual web sites that may have a copy of the necassary files, drawn a blank.

Please let me know if anyone else knows where system updates can be obtained from.

Thanks

I'd really like to be able to help you CJB, but unfortunately, I can't. :Sad:
Mine was updated for me.

Good luck,

I have the NOZA TEC satnav with free map updates.
I have successfully updated my French/GERMAN/UK /Italian maps no trouble.

you unzip the maps you want ,then connect to satnav then go to igo8/contnt/maps. Use "control+f" to find original maps, delete them then add new files.

(the new files are tom tom)

Tried mine for the first time when taking the van in for a Hab check this week and it performed well and gave clear instruction but then I was on the A47 for much of the route and it was no contest until I got to the B roads heading for Becks at Rollesby.

Then it did route me the sensible way that I would choose and not the scenic way the Garmin always took me so it passed it's first test.

No doubt there's an answer but Katie, if that's her name, kept telling me I was over the speed limit but as it's set up for a lorry I suppose apart from turning warnings off I'll have to live with it unless there's an answer in this thread?
 
YES,the username and password is the same for everybody's as far as I know,because I bought two by mistake and they both had the asme I.D. and password,mhope this helps you,gwyntaxi.

Hi there sandt,
I really wish I had you IT and computer/satnav download knowledge,all this unzip/igo8/contnt/maps is all alien to me i've always been a "hammers&spanners"man myself when it comes to I.T. I've just got this blank expression on my face so I'm reliant on "friends" doing any updates etc,for me,and don't tell me how easy it is cos I'm living proof that it isn't once you pass the big 60+ things don't seem to get absorbed like it used to,not to worry one day.......... gwyntaxi

Wouldn't it be a great idea to have a Chinese 7'' truck satnav tutorial Rally?

Everyone with their nice new shiny satnavs, all us sitting under nice warm sun (a tin or two) and someone up the front that understands the instructions and what the hell is hidden deep down in these things, teaching us all how to use them, all in sheer and utter togetherness.
:Laughing:

I have put mine in and driven, but by the sounds of it there is a lot more can be done. As I've watched this (and the other similar threads) there are some who are willing to 'get stuck into the innards' so to speak and make them better - I got lost when mb's started getting mentioned, can't get the map in, it won't fit and the Russian map removal really got me in a dither....

Oh' for the understanding of all things technical..... I'm starting to think I must have fell asleep when all this was being talked about in school or I'm from the wrong generation........
:Blush:

Regards,

Trikeman. :Wink:

I know EXACTLY how you feel mate we must have both fallen asleep in the same class,oh for a sat-nav tutorial class,i'd be there like a shot and i
definitely wouldn't fall asleep this time round.

We used ours for our weekend jaunt and found it great apart from 3 problems:

1) We were within 1 mile of our destination when I did a you turn to pop into an award winning shop which I saw at the side of the road. As I had turned around, the GPS recalculated the trip

1) We were within 1 mile of our destination when I did a you turn to pop into an award winning shop which I saw at the side of the road. As I had turned around, the GPS recalculated the trip based on the direction of travel and prepared a new route approx. 15 miles longer - it did not suggest that I turned around.

Similarly when we reached the destination, I deliberately went past it and rather than saying do a you turn, it gave me a new 20 mile route to take me back the 100m that I had overshot.

2) When returning home, we were within 3 miles of our house and the SAT NAV gave us a route that I knew to be longer and was calculated at 4 miles so I took the normal route and it quickly gave me the route that I was on with a distance of 2.5 miles.

3) The only way I can exit Windows CE is to shut the device down; anyone else found a way of exiting it?

I like the device but am not too keen on not having the suggestions to make you turns or not always being given the shortest route - I know that some others have experienced these problems but is it widespread?

Hi there mattyjwr,
I like the above mentioned points and must say that I have found exactly the same myself regarding u-turns re-routing etc,gwyntaxi
 
I don't seem able to enter a full postcode on mine, after I enter the first four digits the keyboard goes grey and the 'result' amount is highlighted bottom right hand corner which if press gives me a list of results of first four digits + a choice of fifth to get me near to where I want to go, do I need to change a setting somewhere or download additional software, I downloaded latest UK maps last night still made no difference
I have navi path set to SD-Primo-etc

If I remember rightly on mine I enter the first three characters. Then space then I can enter the last three

I think you'll find that the keyboard is grey except for the space bar. As Gazza and Andy have said, the software requires the space (some other sat navs don't) so the only option for next character after a first part of 4 digits is Space.
 
Yes I can do the space but the key pad remains grey so I cannot input any more digits

How do I do a reset ? Press the little button in the rear of the unit or throu the software ?
