So have recently returned to caravanning after 8 years camping in the Elgrand, and having used Google Maps to get me around, I'm very aware that tugging a caravan along requires some sort of 'road filtering' system to keep me out of trouble.

I briefly tried Sygic on my smart phone and whilst it did said filtering (as in avoiding unsuitable routes when with a caravan or motor home), I really didn't like the general screen and user interface when compared to Google Maps, and of course Sygic comes at price!

Thus I've been looking at dedicated Satnav units. The likes of Garmin and TomTom are relatively pricey and are not something I'd consider.

Over to youtube for inspiration a lo and behold the OHREX N76 gets a lot of postings (they must have handed them around by the lorry load) and on the face of it, looks to be a good device and for around £70 is more pleasing to my pocket.

If you then pop over to Amazon and search on 'Truck Satnav' up pop a good number of devices well under £80 BUT are they any good?

So, anyone out there tried a cheapy Satnav for better or worse?
