TRUCKMATE is the first portable sat nav
system to include dedicated routing designed specifically for trucks
and large vehicles - plus Snooper's multi award winning speed camera
location technology. First launched on the S2000 with a 4.3" LCD
display in 2007, Truckmate has been a huge success and welcomed by
drivers and fleet operators alike. Truckmate has won many accolades and
awards and is sold by all the major truck manufacturers from Volvo to
DAF.
The
Snooper S7000 TRUCKMATE satellite navigation system is the result of
many months of development based on our research of the industry and
feedback from the 1000's of truck drivers already using Truckmate. As a
result Truckmate is the most comprehensive portable sat nav system
designed specifically for trucks on the market. Truckmate uses Navteq
transport data at it's core, but Truckmate is further enhanced but
1000's more attributes combining to give far more comprehensive cover
of hazards on more roads than any other system on the market.
The
S7000 incorporates all the features of the S2000 Truckmate but
incorporates a large 7" display. This larger format display makes it
much easier to view any potential hazards to your vehicle such as
weight and height restrictions, plus it makes it possible to display
all turn-by-turn routing instructions in a larger format making them
much easier and safer to read whilst driving.
In
fact everything about S7000 Truckmate is bigger and better. It is
easier to enter addresses and scroll through the systems menu as the
on-screen button sizes are bigger and easier to press. Plus the S7000
incorporates more features including TMC traffic information, Bluetooth
handsfree and DVB-T digital free to air television*. You can even
attach a reversing camera!
*Please note that DVB-T will only operate in areas with a digital TV service. Reception will vary based on your location.
Truck navigation - the problem
You
couldn’t have missed the almost weekly press reports of a truck or
large vehicle getting sent along an inappropriate route by an inept sat
nav system. Almost all these stories end in disaster with the vehicle
concerned stranded in a field, wedged under a bridge and even
destroying property. It is reported that there has been millions of
pounds worth of damage caused as drivers use portable satellite
navigation systems designed for cars to navigate commercial vehicles.
Truckmate satellite navigation - the solution
The first satellite navigation system designed specifically for trucks and commercial vehicles.
The Snooper S7000 Truckmate has been created to provide a solutuion to these problems.
TRUCKMATE
is the first portable satellite navigation system to include dedicated
routing designed specifically for trucks and large vehicles such as
coaches, buses and mobile homes - plus Snooper’s multi-award winning
speed camera detector technology.
Environmentally friendly technologyAs
well as routing you safely and effectively to your destination, Snooper
TRUCKMATE will also guide you around the most economical route. Faced
with a choice of a route using a steep incline or one with more
straightforward flat roads, Snooper TRUCKMATE will select the latter.
Improved fuel consumption, improved cost effectivenessTRUCKMATE has the answer.
This unique software will create a route based on the attributes of
your particular vehicle. Simply tell the unit the size and weight of
your vehicle, plus the type of load if applicable and Snooper’s
TRUCKMATE software will calculate a safe, truck friendly route. Routes
will be calculated based on roads with adequate width and height,
excluding
roads with low bridges or weight restrictions plus
many other hazards.
Improved routing - no other satellite navigation system routes in the same way.
It's
not just about routing to avoid hazards. Truckmate's unique routing
algorithm ensures that where possible larger vehicles are only taken on
appropriate roads. No other sat nav system on the market creates routes
in the same way.
Truckmate - more hazard information than any other sat nav designed for trucks.
Truckmate
uses Navteq transport data to provide the core truck data. However
Truckmate also incorporates additional information ensuring more
comprehensive cover than other sat navs using the standard Navteq
package. Truckmate offers greater cover on smaller, narrower roads
where it is most needed. Truckmate has more hazard information on more
roads across Europe than any other portable sat nav system designed for
trucks.
Snooper's Truckmate sat nav will save you £££'s in fuel and time!
Recent
research has shown that a Snooper Truckmate sat nav will pay for itself
and quickly. Sat nav users on average drive 16% fewer miles, which
means drivers use 16% less fuel. Plus travel times are reduced by 18%
on average producing fantastic cost savings at a time when every penny
counts, not to mention the cost saved avoiding damage to your vehicle
and property on route!
Car navigation.
Although
Truckmate has clearly been designed to navigate trucks and larger
vehicles on safe and legal roads it also incorporates a car setting.
Simply switch Truckmate to car mode and it will navigate you on the
most effective routes for your car instead!

Love of HDNL says: “It was great to be able to work with Performance
Products on creating something that is certain to have a huge impact on
the haulage industry. It’s no longer acceptable for drivers to be
content with sat navs made for smaller vehicles — there are specific
issues involved with driving HGVs, and the TRUCKMATE takes all of them
into account.” |

information provider in the UK. Traffic information is fed from 100's

those systems that use fixed sensors only providing a considerably
higher level of service.

service will alert you to all traffic incidents across the country and
lists them in distance order from your current position. As well as
this overview however you can also choose to monitor traffic incidents

Driver Testimonials
John
Beddow is an HGV driver for Uniloads, the country’s leading specialist
in the delivery of commercial vehicles throughout the UK and Europe.
“I
drive a number of different sizes and types of trucks, and TRUCKMATE
has proved invaluable. Although I’ve used sat navs for years and
they’ve all saved me time, I often used to find myself going 15 miles
out of the way before realising I couldn’t go any further. Nothing
removes the unique hassles of truck driving like TRUCKMATE.”

Andy Saunders drives for the UK’s leading manufacturer of natural stone and concrete hard-landscaping products.
“There’s
nothing like TRUCKMATE on the market, and there’s no comparison with
other brands. Every other sat nav was designed for cars, but TRUCKMATE
was clearly made with commercial vehicles in mind. Because of the
specific restrictions we face every day in our jobs, it’s immensely
useful for driving in the city and in the country. I recently lent my
device to one of my colleagues, and he didn’t want to let it go!”

Award winning Speed Camera location technology -
Snooper
TRUCKMATE is completely unique. Unlike any other sat nav system
TRUCKMATE provides you with speed limit alerts specific to the class of
vehicle you are driving. Plus you can update the speed camera database
24hrs a day 365 days a year. Truckmate uses our unique AURA database
which is updated daily, so the second a new camera is added you can
download it, because anything less than 100% cover is just not an
option. Truckmate gets you effortlessly from A to B whilst ensuring
that you get there with your license intact.
THE AURA ADVANTAGE!
THE IMPORTANCE OF VERIFICATION - All databases are not created equal.
Unlike AURA, many other GPS databases rely largely on locations provided by hobbyists
who might not be able to tell a speed camera or a red light camera from
a traffic flow camera or a surveillance camera. These databases could
result in annoying false alerts, which could lead you to start ignoring
even legitimate alerts--defeating the point of having a GPS database in
the first place.
Other databases are not updated every
day, and they also limit how often you can download updates. As a
result, devices using these databases are not as up-to-date as they
could be and are likely to miss alerts.
In contrast, Snooper has assembled a professional team that devotes every working day to verifying each and every speed camera and high risk zone that goes into the AURA database. by contacting:
The AURA database is constantly updated, and can be accessed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
AURA’s reliability is backed up by Snooper, one of the most respected
and trusted satellite navigation and speed camera location
manufacturers. Snooper has won dozens of awards for innovation and
product performance and has been establised since 1979.
If
you’re considering a GPS database to reduce your risk of an unintended
speeding ticket or accident, doesn’t it make sense to go with the
database—and the company—that reduces that risk the most?
