First truck specific GPS in Australia

22 Oct 2012

The ProNav system, which incorporates the latest Navteq transport data for Australia, provides turn-by-turn street navigation for large vehicles such as trucks, trailers, buses, vans and caravans.

ProNav allows a driver to enter the vehicles’ vital statistics, including weight, axle weight, height, length and width, as well as the load being carried to calculate the best route with the aim of ensuring drivers are not confronted with roads or obstacles unsuitable for the vehicle or goods.

The easy-to-use interface of ProNav’s GPS devices, feature a 5”-wide touchscreen, bluetooth hands-free calling and a FM transmitter, so the driver can hear the navigation instructions via an in-dash vehicle radio, which is ideal in a truck environment.

The system also includes text to speech, providing clear voice instructions including road names. It also provides an audible and visual warning of fixed safety cameras and provides easy-to-read icons on the mapping to clearly see which obstacles are being avoided along the truck route.

Also included is a Navteq map and transport data upgrade in the first year, ensuring that drivers are always up to date and not worrying about changing maps and transport data.

With safety features that are second to none, ProNav will guide you on your way, ensuring a safe and smooth journey.

Safety features include potential hazard warnings such as steep hills, crosswinds, risk of grounding and sharp bends, and dynamic navigation based on vehicle dimensions and safety camera alerts.
