A lorry stuck under a bridge, up a farm track or speeding through a small village. It’s become a media cliché but its time is almost over.

Based on the award winning CoPilot Live v8, our new truck-specific software brings the convenience of sat nav to the world of the heavy goods vehicle driver and it’s ready to download now.

Whether it’s an HGV, mid-range lorry or large van, CoPilot Live v8 Truck calculates the most suitable route – and helps you stick to it, through visual and Text To Speech turn-by-turn voice instructions.

Specific routes and guidance for large vehicles

-          Calculates safe, appropriate routes based on the size of the vehicle and load being carried.

-          Enter precise vehicle dimensions – height, width, weight/axel weight and length

-          Avoids truck or load-restricted routes including HazChem where appropriate

-          Save individual vehicle profiles to make it easy to switch between multiple vehicles

-          Comprehensive Truck Points of  Interest database including fuel stops, rest stops and weigh stations

-          Visual and audible warnings of truck restricted routing

-          Up to 50 stop optimiser for direct, fuel efficient routing between appointments

The benefits

-          Avoids accidents and fines by routing around common road hazards such as low bridges, sharp turns and steep inclines

-          Less wasted miles through the most efficient door to door routes

-          Avoids the inconvenience of being guided down unsuitable roads

-          Guidance and routing based on specific vehicle type

-          Single, one off payment. No monthly subscription or mobile contract  required

As easy to use as an in-car sat nav, CoPilot Live v8 Truck comes with intuitive address entry and a choice of 3D, 2D and Driver Safety views. On the road you’ll benefit from Real Signpost information, Lane Assistance and ClearTurn™ reality view – in short, everything you would expect from a top end dedicated navigation system – but avoiding the nightmare of being guided down an unsuitable road.
