Never fully trust a sat nav of any type , will do a check of any dodgy looking parts of the trips , so we dont get caught out , not perfect still , but mostly works , safe travels and thanks for taking us along
We've run three alongside each other, two with dimensions in, one without (google maps on the fone). Might end up[ sticking with Google, to be honest. Dimensions don't seem to help much...
On the sat nav issue our drivers at work (23 plate sprinters) refuse to use the built in sat nav and they do 70k a year….. tells you enough, we don’t use the onboard on our fiat Campervan either and prefer google maps, we press mute or only record when she’s not going to speak. New terrain hopper looked a nice bit of kit, hope the batteries in yours are now all ok. Have a great Christmas if we don’t hear off you before. ❤
Oh, next week's is already edited and up awaiting release... Aye - we've had more luck with google maps. And, TBH, I rather enjoy the challenge of managing to speak before she interrupts. Usually fail, but, y'know, live fast, grasp the nettle and all that.
Indeed... we have the Garmin satnav the Avtex one is based on, and yes, same applies. I'm thinking about putting the width of the van as 16 feet, just to see what happens. Might be a giggle...

Try semi air on back end v b do it with a remote know worth checking out both
It's something we can think about - but if we can't up-plate, there's little point. The ride's lovely as it stands...
I use a seperate Avtex sat nav you still have to specify preferences: shortest, avoid tolls, motorways, A roads etc. Then add a dollop of common sense

My sat nav is absolutely useless.... took the family to the zoo sat nav said " BEAR left " it wasn't it was a lion
You owe Gill a new pair of pants - she's just wet hers... 😂
