The truck I drive is a 2022 DAF XF 480.
Most of my work is all over England and occasionally up to Scotland.
All of the footage is recorded hands-free on my GoPro Hero 11 and two Hero 8s. All edited on my Samsung S8 Ultra using Lumafusion.

Very helpful. Thanks 👋
Hi . Ive got the Ohrex satnav and a great feature is the free lifetime map updates too. Great piece of kit.
I had Ohrex for a few years it was really good for the price . I got a tom tom now pro looking at the review its still good for the price might get one as a second sat nav just in case .but a fantastic review thanks
Just brought it buddy. Thanks for the info. I start my HGV driving adventures tomorrow!
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for the review mate, I've just ordered the 9" one of these Sat Navs to help me with my day to day deliveries as a Class 2 HIAB driver for a builder's merchant. Currently using a Tom Tom 620 pro, but some of the routing options haven't been as time efficient of late and getting grief off the guv'nor so time to try something else! 🤞
A month later how has it been mate?
Great video. I have the ohrex satnav and haven't had any problems with it so far. Was a reasonable price and for all I need it for it does the job just fine and gets me where I need to be.
What more could you want 🤣
bought one a couple of years ago, I had to drive in London a fair bit and it didn't do well, sent me down a couple of restricted routes. I eneded up breaking it by accident and then bought a Tomtom Go 6250, which has its own issues.
SatNavs in London are always a pain. I find with London it's easier to try and know where your going.
😂😂😂😂
cheers mate
That is iGO Primo and ancient version. New one is called iGO Primo Nextgen. Check your maps. Latest version is Here 2023 Q3. It was produced by the Company named NNG Hungary.
RoadLords is FREE and far better. I have seen over 9 reviews, all trying to flog them.
I have a TomTom professional which has taken me to a low bridge even after putting my heights in has the one you talk about here doesn’t do that ? I’m a new driver and getting to a low bridge can be challenging
Never had that issue. I ALWAYS put my hight slightly higher than I am as well just to be extra sure.
That looks like iGO Primo. That's a simple one. I used iGO, that good for me in EU.
Yeah, it's a basic sat nav but does everything it needs to!
The link to the Ohrex website gives an option to add live traffic updates for an extra $29.99 (about £23). Would this need to be linked to your phones internet data?
Not sure. Mine doesn't have it. I don't normally worry about traffic. When I do need to know I just look at Google maps.
@@AshleyHaleUK cheers mate
Why set speed at 50 mph as when you travel at 52 or 54 in a 50 zone the alarm will keep going off
I have my sat nav silent all the time. I set the max speed to help factor in a bit of traffic
Is this the same as the "trucknav" ones?
Not used a trucknav one.
From what I've seen, the software on the cheaper one is mostly the same. It what additional features that they comewith that make the difference.
If theres no street name to enter...Can I just enter a postcode??
Yeah, I only ever put the post in
Ok cool ...Just some reviews are saying the post code can't be put in and it was useless.
I'm a truck driver and want it for bridges and heights......It does this obviously with your review.....It's just i really need for it to be able for me to put in Postcode only as some of the places I go in the truck have no street name's....
You definitely recommend???
Very bad..you cant check your routes.. And worse of all warnings of speed cameras are audible and last very long... It can't be turned off.. There is an option to turn it off but doesn't work.. I changed couple of them.. It never worked..
I don't have any audio on my. I switch it all off. You can do a route overview to see where it's taking you
