Sat nav for trucks

I’m looking at buying a Garmin sat nav but as I will also be using it in my HGV at work what is the best choice?

I’ve looked at the Nuvi310/360 but not sure if they include bridge and weight limitations.

Does anybody have any experience using this companies height restriction add on?

Would this be a good purchase for my Garmin Nuvi 265w?

Navteq Transport might be what you want.

You can buy any sat-nav you want, and then update it using data from www.hgvsolutions.com. They display width, height and weight restrictions. However, this is payware.

Edited to ad: Another option,

Haven’t found anything like that yet :confused:

I have been looking at the Nuvi on various websites but none have said anything about them showing height/weight restrictions or having the ability to download them. :confused:

Go for a tomtom. I *think* you can download height restrictions from their site.
