Is there an iPhone HGV Sat Nav & Address Finder?

Hi All,

I have a Garmin LGV 710. On my first agency job, it wouldn’t load maps for some reason. I therefore had to use Google Earth on my iPhone.

I wandering as a back up, is there a Is there an iPhone HGV Sat Nav & Address Finder ?

Cheers

The iphone TomTom app has been upgraded to allow for HGV`s, the downside is that its a £75/year subscription, whereas the same non HGV app is £8.99/6 months, and gives you live traffic and speed cameras

Free? As a backup?

Perhaps - it does the job though it’s not up to TomTom/Garmin levels (IMHO).

Magic Earth is another but it tried to take me on a very interesting route out of SW1 London back to Croydon in the wee small hours of a Sunday morning.

I don’t believe it is available for iPhone. You could try sygic.

co pilot truck from the app store. free for routing, 9.99 a year if you want traffic.

Have a look on Tomtom website….looks like they’re giving a 1 month free trial of the iOS app instead of 7 days

I use Co Pilot and its pretty good 99% of the time. Sometimes it tries taking you down totally unsuitable routes for some unknown reason, or diverts you off a dual carriageway with a tiny bit of congestion and through a town center because the traffic is apparently flowing better :unamused: as long as you watch out for its little quirks its fine.

As for an address finder, DelM8 is an amazing app. When I was doing Class 2 home delivery work it was perfect for finding stupid named houses (should be banned, hate named homes so much, "oh look dear lets call our little cottage “The Oaks” because we’re so original, nobody else has ever done that :unamused: ), ghetto tower block estates, or farms in the middle of nowhere. Put the postcode in and it gets a list of every single address associated with that postcode taken from the local authority registry, pick the one you want and it puts it into google maps for you. Its never let me down, plops the pin right on the house even on ones with stupid long country lane driveways etc.

Just to add, there’s 2 Delm8’s. Basic for £4 a month or £8 for the pro version that routes your multidrop in the best order for you

colin day maps (free) are very good for rural deliveries .they are simple “stick” map but show all properties by name
