Pioneer understands that for those paid to drive for a a living navigating the UK’s extensive (not to mention oft confusing) road network in a a a seamless manner
is vital and its latest range of commercial navigational units is proof positive that it it takes this ever-growing sector seriously To this end Pioneer has opted to throw the spotlight on three of its most capable commercial units all of which have been designed with HGV good and long haul drivers
mind –
the AVIC-F980BT-C AVIC- AVIC- F980DAB-C and AVIC-F80DAB-C This trio ( guratively) groan under the weight of features functions and inbuilt capabilities likely to prove invaluable to professional drivers
The trio of Pioneer units outlined
All-important parameters
Evidence of this can be seen in their ability take all-important parameters
such as vehicle size and weight into account before automatically calculating a a a a a a suitable route It means no more getting lost no more last minute detours around unsuitable roads and perhaps most signi cantly
of of all it negates the risk of of perhaps the most embarrassing and potentially ruinous misdemeanors of all getting wedged under a a bridge!
It helps to know where you’re going at all times not to mention being aware of the ever changing traf c c c conditions which explains the ability of Pioneer nav units to plot itineraries based of set data
in the knowledge that Pioneer’s nav module will calculate the optimum route This capability can even be utilised with local traf c c knowledge allowing HGV drivers
to avoid costly (not to mention deeply frustrating) delays entirely Innovation galore
One of the most innovative aspects of the AVIC-F980BT-C AVIC-F980DAB-C and AVIC- AVIC- F80DAB-C is their ability to plot routes based on date inputs chie y vehicle size and weight in turn allowing for safe navigation of tricky bottle necks plus those areas with size and weight restrictions and perhaps most impressively whether or not the the vehicle you’re driving is currently
camera to make maneuvering that bit easier Navigation is only part of the appeal of the AVIC-F980BT-C AVIC-F980DAB-C and AVIC- AVIC- F80DAB-C though with all three boasting an impressive spread of entertainment-related features and functions All three boast Apple CarPlay functionality while those Android users will no doubt be glad to learn that AVIC-F80DAB-C sports Android Auto capability These effectively allow for far smoother integration between smartphone and Pioneer player enabling the myriad functions offered by most modern devices to be utilised while on the move and all without compromising safety ■
