Trucking Tech: The latest gadgets and apps every UK trucker should use 

On the Garmin Dezl a Google earth picture pops up when you're nearly at your destination.

thanks for the google earth tip, for any type of delivery it is essential. Even normal van deliveries it can help show where service entries are or where to park for those annoying places in pedestrianised zones. you made my life easier. Thanks

Really informative. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks mate, absolutely helpful

Thanks for sharing this

I’ve come back to driving after 18month off and can’t find my bloody sat nav, it’s been put somewhere “safe” 🙄. I am currently using the Tom Tom go app for hgv until I find it, it’s £80 for the year or £20 something for the month and I find it works well as a temporary measure on your phone if you’re saving up for or trying to find a proper hgv sat nav 👍

Great video Billy very informative. Some of those apps would be good

Thanks mate for your help

Surely you can input your vehicle dimensions into the settings in your satnav,so it would configure a suitable route that avoided the restrictions.

This is great information, just about to start out so this was very helpful. Thanks

Hi really good information only thing is if u buy the tomtom truck satnav should it not be telling if there are low Bridges because u pout the height information in to the tomtom before u set off so it no the best way to take u to avoid low bridges and other restrictions for the Hgv is u said it will take u down some roads that are not really Hgv friendly but I thought it would take care off low bridges for the height u set in the satnav Thanks

i know what you are talking about using google maps alongside the satnav, i been in a pickle a few times relying only on the tomtom lol.... great vid mate

would not the sat nav allow for bridge heights or are you saying as a back up use earth. thanks

But what is the model of your Satnav? Tomtom Go Professional or Expert?

I also use what3words

Are you a class one driver 🤔 I'd never of known 🤦 Jesus Christ talk about self entitlement 🤣

In the good old days truckers used a map instead of sat navs

My truck Tom Tom let me down for the last time I discovered that if by accident you drive over your bag with your TomTom in with a 18 ton lorry the TomTom screen cracks badly to the point you cant see the screen anymore that's just one of two moans about the TomTom the other is trying to set up a Bluetooth connection with a Android phone is so so hard oy had it ever connect once for TomTom live very annoying!
