I just got one of these pnavi satnavs. Used it for 3 days so far on roads im familiar with low bridges. They do avoid the low bridges and widths you programed into it. As for map updates. I did mine slso. Abit long winded but all is good. New A46 now appears
Hi I got the pnavi for a xmas prezzie.Used it abroad the first time this week and was impressed with it.Only thing is.I need to update the maps.Been onto the site and put my user code in.But can’t download them.See you have done it so any advice would be great thanks.
Dont buy Snooper they are crap lots of people told me, i really researched this myself ans everyone told me a Tom Tom 5150 so i bought one and i can tell you this is the sat nav,never had any problems as long as you make sure you have set the vehicle profile correctly,activate the one year free live traffic and off you go,best thing i ever did,try amazon i think they are around£275.00 now but the best money i ever spent and im class one.

Have you tried altering the actual route plaaning settings from shortest route or fastest route to see if that takes a different way.

That is the main road though (A358), yes it is tight but the sat nav is not to blame.

Well I’ve had s TT 7150 for over 3 years now and it hasn’t let me down. Only on the odd occasion has it had a fit and got confused, however I have found that the re-route plan if you come up against a hazard isn’t very good, it’s just seems to send you down the nearest street to get away from it resulting in more problems.
I’ve taken the decision to sell my TT 7150 as you get bugger all support from tomtom and I was unable to update my maps. After some surfing the net I’ve decided to try a snooper this time, if it’s as good as the TT 7150 I’ll be very happy.

Today my snooper turned up, after a short while it’s now set up and running. I thought I’d give it a quick test knowing that I have a 7.5t weight limit close by and what has it gone and done? Sent me straight down the 7.5t weight limit and to round things off their is absolutely no way you’d get an arctic down that road without getting stuck.
Straight away I know I can’t trust this device and am thinking about sending it back already. My old tt7150 was pretty bullet proof when it came to routing and very rarely let me down.
So far, snooper 0-1 TT 7150.
