I have an old (6 years?) TomTom Go with the 'traffic reroute' feature. I bought it in previous employment where we were multi-dropping furniture all over England.
Saved a LOT of time, especially in an 'unknown' area where you wouldn't know which side roads to use.
Mine also warns of tolls route, congestion charging and gives an 'approximate' idea how much a traffic jam or roadworks etc will delay your journey.
Haved used a newer version of mine with the 'lane guidance' feature, that's very handy too - especially if you do a lot of unfamiliar motorway work.
Tom Tom seems to be the 'industry benchmark' with most delivery drivers round here using one version or another.
Hope this helps.
Gary Have a look at Waze. It's brilliant.
if your chap is willing to download it to his phone whilst he learns his way around then it will save you a packet.
Agree. I use mine a lot, but as its for an employee I've no desire to go to the expense of an iPhone with all the hassles that will bring ;-)
I really want something that stays with the Van, not the Person.
TomTom every time ,
I have a TomTom with live traffic. It is amazingly accurate if not slightly big brotherish.
One downside however is the ~£50 per year subscription.
Any decent smartphone should come with some sort of maps app mine has google maps and it works perfectly well as a satnav. Does the employee not have his own phone? It could save you unnecessary expense.
What I will say is the live traffic feature can sometimes not be to live so if you put in an address and start travelling straight away there may be a few minutes before you get traffic alerts. Has fluffed us up a couple of times.
