New navigation device to aid HGV / LGV driving professionals

Satellite navigation is certainly not a new concept. This system has been in existence for several years and has been a massive benefit for HGV / LGV drivers as it can direct them towards the best routes for them.

However, in the past, there have been problems whereby lorries have got stuck down narrow paths or have taken routes that were not suitable for heavy vehicles, because they have followed their satellite navigation systems.

Such problems have since been eliminated via the use a new satellite navigation device. This system has been especially developed for HGV driving professionals. TomTom GO 7000 is the name of the innovative device. The navigation system has been provided by the Freight Transport Association and enables the drivers to avoid unfavourable paths.

The unit aims to end incidents related to stranded HGV drivers.

The FTA had previously challenged the satellite navigation industry to come up with new devices especially meant for HGV drivers. The evident result is a device which is most suitable for HGV drivers.
The unit will also help the drivers who travel regularly along the urban and rural road networks.
The FTA has also advised the drivers to follow the road signs accurately to avoid any untoward incidents.
