With the launch of its Pro 5150 Truck Live, 1692 TomTom enables truck drivers to safely navigate throughout Europe on truck-friendly routes, avoiding dimensional, weight and hazardous materials restrictions. The device gives specially designed truck routing information based on truck type, load, height, weight, length, restrictions, and maximum speed. Using this data and a database of actual road speeds, Pro 5150 Truck Live calculates realistic arrival times and helps avoid narrow and dead-end streets, sharp turns, u-turns, low bridges or clearances, and narrow tunnels.

Pro 5150 Truck Live also features one year’s free Live Services including TomTom HD Traffic which help drivers reduce travel time and avoid congestion.
