Snooper S2000 UK TruckMate Commercial Vehicle Sat Nav

Snooper S2000N TruckMate

As featured on the Simon Mayo show on BBC Radio 2

Dear Driver...

Are you tired of the only available satellite navigation systems being for cars, incapable of even telling you whether the road you're travelling on has a bridge too low for your lorry? If so, don't worry - Snooper have your back.

The Snooper S2000N TruckMate is the first portable sat nav system to be designed explicitly for trucks and large vehicles, created to provide professional drivers with many much needed features that generic car sat navs lack - and comes complete with Snooper's multi award winning speed camera location technology.

Designed Specifically for Large Vehicles

It's difficult to miss the almost weekly news reports of trucks or HGVs following incompetent sat nav directions down impossible routes - nearly always ending in disaster, the result being a vehicle wedged under a bridge, stranded in a field or destroying property. It is reported that millions of pounds worth of damage is caused by commercial drivers being limited to portable satellite navigation systems that are designed for cars.

The S2000N TruckMate was built specifically to solve these problems, and is the first satellite navigation system to include routing designed specifically for vehicles such as lorries, coaches, buses & mobile homes.

Routes Custom to Your Vehicle

While Truckmate is guiding you safely, accurately and without disaster towards your chosen destination, it'll also take you down the most economical route available. This means if the device has to choose between a route that has a steep incline, or one with flat and straightforward roads, S2000N Truckmate is smart enough to choose the latter, improving fuel consumption and thus cost effectiveness.

Additionally, Snooper Truckmate can customise routes to your vehicle. Just tell the device the size and weight of your vehicle, and if applicable the type of load, and the sat nav's software will create a route calculated specifically for your needs, avoiding roads with low bridges, problematic weight restrictions and other hazards.

No other satellite navigation system routes the same way thanks to Snooper Truckmate's unique algorithm, created entirely to keep your truck, HGV or other large vehicle out of harms way and deliver you to your destination not only intact and on time, but at a reduced fuel cost.

Recent research indicates that your Truckmate will pay for itself in a hurry, as Sat nav users drive an average of 16% fewer miles, which is 16% less fuel used. Also, travel times are reduced by an average of 18%, so the money saving potential of the device is loud and clear.

Truckmate Even Works with Your Car.

By now it's clear that the Truckmate sat nav is designed to provide professional drivers with some much deserved guidance specific to their requirements. But Snooper like to raise the bar and keep it high, so the Truckmate also has a car mode. Just switch the device to the car setting and it will skip the lorry specifics and guide your car down the most effective route available.

Delivering to Multiple Destinations Made Easy

It's plain to see that Snooper make the best looking sat nav available, but they say it's what's on the inside that really counts - which is why Snooper sat navs are built to perform beyond your expectations, incorporating brand new technology and ideas. For instance, unique multi-route planning software that allows you to set a single route around up to 10 different destinations just by adding the postcodes.

No need to stop and start and no struggling to find addresses when you don't have time to spare, just spend a few seconds popping the postcodes for the day in to your Truckmate and get on the road

TMC Traffic Information Technology - FREE.

On the subject of stopping and starting, there's not much worse than traffic when you're driving on a tight schedule. If you're a professional driver you'll know that reliable information as to the state of the roads on your route can be vital to getting where you need to be on time. With this in mind Snooper TruckMate has access to TMC information provided by ITIS - who are probably the best traffic information provider in the UK.

You'll receive the advantage of traffic information from hundreds of thousands of vehicles and sensors across the country providing information that is accurate up to the second. This kind of reach and precision far exceeds that of systems that rely entirely on fixed sensors.

TruckMate's TMC service will provide you with information about all traffic incidents across the country, sorted in order of distance from your current position. In addition to this, you can choose only to view traffic data that's specific to your route. If your route happens to be congested, simply have Truckmate automatically find a way around the jam.

Over 2 million POI's across Europe - plus extensive list of truck specific locations.

Points of interest specific to trucks, including suitable petrol stations, truck stops, truck restaurants plus an extensive list of hotels, restaurants, standard petrol stations, speed cameras, golf courses, cash machines, airports and so on and so forth. What you're looking for and how to get there is right at your finger tips.

Bluetooth Handsfree Technology

The S2000N TruckMate even comes equipped with Bluetooth Handsfree Technology so that if necessary you can take a call on the road with both hands on the steering wheel - staying safe and in line with the letter of the law.

As an optional extra you can get an extension microphone - perfect for vehicles that generate a lot of background noise. The microphone can be installed either permanently or temporarily and will make sure you're coming through loud and clear. Be heard the first time so you can concentrate on the road.

This microphone can be purchased seperately for 9.99 inc vat.

Compatible with most bluetooth enabled mobile phones. A list of mobile phones that are compatible with the Snooper S2000N can be found below.

Meet AURA. An evolution beyond other speed camera databases.

Enhance your TruckMate's capabilities further with Snooper's Award winning Speed Camera location technology - from just 29.99 inc vat per year. There's no other device like TruckMate - no other sat nav that provides speed limit alerts specific to your vehicle class. The unique AURA database takes the device from strength to strength, allowing you access to a speed camera database that can be updated 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and is updated daily.

Many regular GPS databases have to lean on information provided by amateurs or hobbyists who may not know a speed camera or red light camera from a traffic flow or surveillance camera. This presents the problem of false alerts, and to our recollection false alerts led to some very unfortunate events for the boy who cried wolf.

To save you from the frustration of being alerted to non-existent speed cameras and losing faith in the accuracy of your device - which could lead to ignoring a legitimate alert (defeating the point of having a GPS database in the first place) Snooper is proud to present you with AURA.

For AURA Snooper assembled a professional team with the sole purpose of verifying every single speed camera and high risk zone that enters the AURA database.

With Snooper as the driving force behind AURA's reliability you can be sure you're in safe hands - Snooper are one of the most trusted and respected satellite navigation and speed camera locator manufacturers in the business, and have won dozens of awards for product performance and innovation since their initial establishment in 1979.

If you're thinking about getting a GPS locator to lower the risk of an accident or unintended speeding ticket, consider this - it makes sense to reduce the risk as much as possible, so don't compromise - go with a company and product that take your safety as seriously as you do.
