Using iPhone as Sat Nav in lorry

[Lady Jane]

What are the best attachments for iPhones in a lorry so you can have sat nav going without touching anything?

Make sure you have a lorry mode so as avoiding low bridges and weight and width restrictions.

Imagine any dashboard sticky one would work - acts just as something to hold your phone up so it's visible. Amazon sell them.

Brodit make very good ones - a wide range to choose from as well. They're not the cheapest but they're good.

I just use magnets. Cheap as chips but work fine

Mine props in the display by the speedo and revs…

How do you get lorry mode? Low bridges are my fear!

Yeah, I use Google maps as it’s a good navi system and has live traffic updates, but it’s not got any lorry spec so I’m always a bit worried going to new places! I try and check out the route ahead of time, on terrain mode, to see what the roads are like but it’s not very accurate. I’ve tried various lorry sat nav systems but didn’t rate them.

I have a tomtom truck GPS and its brilliant. Tried google maps and was frustrated by routes which weren't suitable for trucks

I gave up on the Tom Tom pro after it twice didn’t take me to the right location and I had to switch to google maps to get me there ?
