AS FEATURED ON THE SIMON MAYO SHOW BBC RADIO 2

Go to 'Features' for a list of specialist Snooper Truckmate outlets in your area.

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.

Special Offer - DVB-T external antenna worth £19.99 included FREE!

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 technology
As 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 effectiveness

TRUCKMATE 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!

FREE Truckmate operating software updates!
At Snooper we understand the difficulties of fast moving technologies. No sooner have you purchased a new PC or Television and it’s already out of date, that’s why we are offering free  software updates. As Snooper’s TRUCKMATE technology get’s better and better you can keep up, knowing you have always got the most up to date unit on the market!

Steve 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.”

Multi-route technology
Snooper sat nav systems have always been the most stylish available. But they don't only look good, they deliver a performance to match.Take our new and unique Multi-route planning software. Multi-route allows you to calculate a single route around up to 16 different destinations just by adding the postcodes. No stopping and starting, struggling to find each and every address, simply your full day's travel calculated and saved in just a few seconds. 

 

TMC Traffic information technology - FREE of charge!
If you drive for a living you will know the importance of needing to know exactly what lies ahead. Accurate and reliable information is a must to ensure that you get to your appointments on time. Snooper's TMC information is provided by ITIS probably the best traffic information provider in the UK. Traffic information is fed from 100's of thousands of vehicles and sensors across the country providing up to the second information. It's reach and accuracy is far better than those systems that use fixed sensors only providing a considerably higher level of service. 

Snooper's Truckmate TMC 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 that are specific to the route you have programmed on the system. And, if there is congestion on your route you can simply ask Truckmate to automatically find a route around it.

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!”

Bluetooth Handsfree Technology
Stay on the right side of the law. The Snooper S7000 TRUCKMATE is equipped with Bluetooth Handsfree Technology so that if you do have to take a call whilst you are on the move you can do so safely, with both hands still on the steering wheel.

Award winning Speed Camera location technology - From only £29.99 inc vat per year!
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?
