Think you have to buy one that's designed to be used in a lorry. ( bloody expensive I expect )

You can buy one just for HGVs.

Halfords have them,other than that try using the avoid section to miss low bridges etc.

some can, most cant.

always use a sat nav with common sense anyway.

i use a car one in my truck and have never gone wrong yet, so you dont really have to buy one for a truck.

why do you ask?

Point Nemo, Cumbria

How about one for women that avoids narrow roads and three-point-turns.

*runs away very fast*

It could also be marketed at Austrian archdukes.

i use a garmin nuvi 205 and havent gone wrong in a artic yet.

as said, any will be fine as long a syou keep your wits about you (mind, if i was doing europe or that london, then i would get a dedicated one)

i have a truck sat nav, that i carry with me and have used when im going somewhere im unsure of.

but mostly just stick with the car one and a little bit of sense

Some Tom toms have lorries, cycling or walking in the settings.

There is also a specialised one called truckers mate. I think it's by A to Z
