Today's HGV, truck, van, coach and bus driver use Sat Navs like any other driver. Unlike any other driver, they must navigate to avoid low bridges, narrow lanes, weight limited roads and much more...........Ordinary Sat Nav''s are unable to help commercial drivers in these situations; then again ProNav is no ordinary Sat Nav
Professional Navigation for the commercial driver has finally arrived in the form of the ProNav GPS unit. Sat Nav technology has been with us for a number of years and with all the technological advancements in operation and usability, no special thought has been given to the people who use the roads the most until now.
So what is ProNav?
ProNav has taken Sat Nav's best elements, large colour screen, comprehensive mapping, Bluetooth® for handsfree calling and safety camera and POI database, then added their own technology to ensure the commercial lorry or van driver gets from A to B in the safest and quickest possible time, taking into consideration the size, weight and load they would be carrying.
What does ProNav do?
The age of the Sat Nav or GPS tool has been great in assisting drivers to reach their destination. ProNav differs from the usual routing specifics as it provides crucial information that the HGV or van driver needs. The main features of the unit are:
ENHANCED FEATURES
Dynamic routing and optimisation....
The unit has the ability to input the data of the vehicle such as width, height, length and weight. It then calculates the best route taking in to consideration narrow lanes, low bridges etc
ProNav is capable of calculating routes based upon the type of vehicle and its load, to help the driver avoid areas with restrictions. For instance some roads are not suitable for HGVs and hazardous loads may only travel through certain environments.
Beat the elements....
Other factors to consider, again based around the vehicle's type or size, is whether steep hills or cross winds etc could be a potential problem for the driver's safety when navigating on these routes. ProNav recognises the area and warns of these hazards.
Avoid penalties and fines....
The city of London poses its own set of problems especially when or where the driver can park, load or unload. Routes (red) and standard loading data are contained within the ProNav and advises of times of loading/unloading within London. Potential parking and penalty charges are also a feature to ensure the driver avoids these areas. You can even find a caf that serves breakfast for under 5.00, petrol stations, cash machines plus all the usual points of interest.
Be safe....
Safety cameras are placed in potential black-spot regions to warn drivers as they approach the area. All major safety camera types are contained within the unit such as Gatso, Truvelo, Specs and Mobile and the driver receives alerts warning of speed limitations during travel.
STANDARD FEATURES
Replace your existing Sat Nav....
Not only does ProNav have the enhanced features the HGV or commercial driver demands, it too has the standard basic features that turn the unit, at the switch of a button into the sat nav we are more used to. These features are 4.3-inch colour TFT touchscreen, built-in Bluetooth® for hands-free calling, UK post code search, including mapping of Ireland, safety camera and POI alerts, includes renowned Navteq mapping data
So if you're a HGV driver or have a lorry, van, coach or bus and are looking to ease the pain of city centre navigation or the frustration of the more rural areas, then the ProNav GPS unit is the perfect solution to today''s driving headache.
