Caravan mode Sat Nav

trets77

My MIL wants to get a new Sat Nav that has a Caravan mode . ( i think it this means it won't send you down roads / lanes that would be difficult for the Caravan to go and turn around ect)

her Budget is around £150 - £200 . any recommendations ??

Can't say I've ever heard about a 'Caravan mode' before. Hell, most of them don't even acknowledge the existence of low bridges....

or footpaths or cliff edges if recent news reports are to be belived

Try googling HVG SAT NAV - prices seem to have become more reasonable over the last few years - example here http://www.mflqualtech.com/pronav---sat-nav-for-hgvs-and-lcvs-424-p.asp (not a recommendation).

The Caravan Club of GB have some info on this sort of thing:

I thought caravan mode would be a mode that would start beeping if you went over 40 as there would be a risk a queue wouldn't build up behind you

Oh yeah, and it would have to take you via the New Forest or Cornwall on any journey (even a little one to the shops)

Although I dont have an actual sat nav unit I do have Garmin mobile xt on my windows mobile phone and that does have caravan routing options, so it may be worth a look at the actual garmin units.
