Truck navigation
About truck navigation
When planning a route for a large vehicle such as a truck or a bus, TomTom Truck Navigation
helps you to avoid potential hazards such as low bridges.
Important: You must pay attention to all traffic signs, especially those relating to your vehicle's
dimensions and weight. We cannot guarantee you will never encounter them on your route and
ignoring such restrictions can be dangerous.
Where truck-specific information is included in the map, truck navigation takes this into account
together with your vehicle profile.
The enhanced truck navigation routing also works independently of the truck-specific map
information. It favours major roads, assumes you are travelling at a lower average speed and also
selects routes without sharp turns.
Important: Truck-specific features are only supported when using a truck map.
