Clarion launch satnav specifically for CVs
publication date: Dec 10, 2009
With the launch of a revolutionary CV-dedicated
portable satnav device, Clarion has cut a major path to providing
better, more accurate road guidance for commercial vehicles on
Britain’s roads, and in Europe.
Whilst the demand for plug-and-go portable navigation by the
car-driving public has triggered significant product development, the
lack of a competent CV-specific equivalent for the truck market, has
done little to ease the drivers’ burden. |  | | But Clarion’s launch of the MAP690TRK CV portable
navigation device - with its ability to designate routes according to
the vehicle’s size, weight and other criteria – represents a
considerable advance over present products on the market.
Clarion has
designed and purpose-developed the product with functionality and
ease-of-use at its core, including a unique, active cradle (AC709) with
a 12-24 volt power input, stereo speaker output and built-in TMC
antenna. | | Route calculation takes into account bridge height,
width and carrying capacity, tunnel height and width, road carrying
capacity and water protection and/or hazardous material transportation
limitations.
Trip assistance tools allow for the inclusion of loading and waiting
times at pre-determined stops to be taken into account when calculating
the ETA, whilst a travel time monitor tracks driving and rest times and
alerts the driver when daily, continuous or break times are exceeded. |
