Posted 02/09/2009GPSA and Navevo will be at Truckfest North West, taking place at Haydock Park Racecourse on 12th and 13th September 2009. This is a great opportunity to come along to see, try and buy the ProNav navigator and have a great day out at the show.
How Does GPS Work?
Posted 14/07/2009I think everyone has a vague idea of Sat Nav working by picking up signals from satellites "Out There" somewhere. However, I got asked the question, "Why does a Sat Nav need to see 4 satellites to get a fix?". So I desided to find out. The first surprise was just how many satellites are involved.
Reporting Map Data Changes
Posted 13/07/2009We are working with Navteq to report new or missing map data. so if anyone finds a road or point of interest that is different to what is on the map, they can now report this directly to Navteq at:- http://mapreporter.navteq.com/dur-web-external/

Posted 10/07/2009All new ProNav's from GPSA now come complete with the Summer 2009 Map and software Update. As well as the latest map data from Navteq, the "Truck Data" on height, weight and with restrictions etc has also been updated to help HGV,s and large vehicles keep moving on suitable roads.
Roads Marked - Unsuitable for HGV's
Posted 29/06/2009The question was, "I am looking for an HGV Sat-Nav which will not route me down roads 'Unsuitable for HGV' - Will the ProNav stop this from occurring bearing in mind there is no official width restriction?"
A really good question and a tricky one to answer!
