Sygic also shares information about points of interest such as parking, filling stations and overnight rest areas that are suited to the specified vehicle, making it easy for HGV drivers to plan their route and stop off points. Routes will avoid low bridges, tunnels, sharp bends and many other possible restrictions, and also takes in to account HAZMAT, load type and number of trailers etc. With highly detailed settings options enabling drivers to specify their vehicle size, type, emissions standards and even the nature of the load Sygic will create three optimal routes that best suit the settings that have been entered. Sygic is reputed to be the most downloaded HGV sat nav app, trusted by over 3 million truck drivers, and is loaded with a wide range of features that will be appreciated by every HGV driver. Here we look at a selection of the many Sat Nav apps that are available, in no particular order, to give you an idea of what is available. Basic mapping apps aren’t always suitable for HGVs as they are so much larger than most vehicles on the roads. Whilst many vehicles have in-built navigation systems there are a great many HGVs on the road that don’t. Apps are easily downloadable on both Android and iPhones and many are free. The purpose of any Sat Nav app is to get you where you need to be safely and efficiently.
