5 Lorry navigation
The navigation software gives more options for lorry drivers:
•
You can enter the parameters of your vehicle and TravelPilot calculates your routes
with taking available weight, height, etc. restrictions into account (this feature is
accurate only if restrictions are available for all roads between your position and the
destination)
•
Based on the dimensions and other entered parameters of your vehicle, TravelPilot
warns you when you are approaching a restricted road segment or such roads must be
used in your route.
•
You can set a waiting (loading) time for each destination of the route. This way the
arrival time calculation can take into account the idle times at intermediate
destinations. In addition, time dependent restrictions and statistical traffic information
can also be considered for the whole route.
•
When selecting lorry as the vehicle type, U-turns are disabled from routes as much as
possible.
•
You can use countdown timers to alert you when compulsory breaks must be taken
(timers can be set for one driver or two alternate drivers)
Warnings are both visual and audible. There are different kinds of warnings:
•
When approaching a restricted road segment without a route, you are warned that
there is a restricted area ahead.
•
Restricted road segments are excluded from your routes but in some cases some
restricted roads need to be used to reach the given destination. In this case you
receive a warning and you must accept that you have restricted roads in your route or
you can stop the navigation and continue without an active route.
Please note that lorry navigation is only as accurate and comprehensive as the
restrictions received with the map. Restrictions may not cover lower priority roads
Note!
and in most cases the coverage changes as you move around your map region.
You are obliged to always obey the restrictions displayed on the road.
5.1 Setting up vehicle parameters
When you use TravelPilot with a lorry, you need to select a lorry type vehicle profile in Route
settings and enter the parameters of your vehicle. These parameters are used in route
calculation to bypass roads that are restricted for your lorry. Do as follows:
