TomTom, a global provider of navigation devices, has created a GPS designed for professional truckers in North America. The TomTom TRUCKER 600 features accurate, vehicle-relevant navigation, map updates and traffic analysis— for the lifetime of the device—all in one package, as company representatives demonstrated at the Great American Trucking Show here.
Along with the truck-safe routing—based on the user-set truck specs such as vehicle weight or trailer height, or HAZMAT freight—TRUCKER 600’s Bluetooth capability and the MyDrive web app, drivers can connect from a smart phone, tablet, or PC, plan their trips from the comfort of home, a truck stop, or the office, and when they climb into their cab the navigation device will be programmed, ready and waiting.
The TomTom TRUCKER 600 isn’t only designed for professional driving though, as it can also be used in a driver’s personal vehicle: The device has a 6-inch touchscreen with tablet style pinch, zoom and swipe controls and it can be docked and undocked easily with the unique Click & Go magnetic mount.
