THE AURA ADVANTAGE!

THE IMPORTANCE OF VERIFICATION - ALL DATABASES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL.

Unlike AURA, many other GPS speed camera databases rely largely on locations provided by hobbyists who might not be able to tell a speed camera or a red light camera from a traffic flow camera or a surveillance camera. These databases could result in annoying false alerts, which could lead you to start ignoring even legitimate alerts-defeating the point of having a GPS database in the first place. Other databases are not updated every day, and they also limit how often you can download updates. As a result, devices using these databases are not as up-to-date as they could be and are likely to miss alerts. In contrast, Snooper has assembled a professional team that devotes every working day to verifying each and every speed camera and high risk zone that goes into the AURA database.

The AURA database is constantly updated, and can be accessed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. AURA's reliability is backed up by Snooper, one of the most respected and trusted satellite navigation and speed camera location manufacturers. Snooper has won dozens of awards for innovation and product performance and has been establised since 1979.

If you're considering a GPS database to reduce your risk of an unintended speeding ticket or accident, doesn't it make sense to go with the database and the company that reduces that risk the most? As well as the UK and Ireland, the AURA speed trap database now offers Worldwide protection Including Germany, Holland, Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Luxembourg, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Romania, Russia, North America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa and is still growing.

Navteq

A satellite navigation system is only as good as its mapping software - this is why the S900 utilises NAVTEQ street level mapping, ensuring that you can travel from A to B using the best route possible and more importantly, without getting you lost. By using NAVTEQ digital map data, Snooper S900 is able to offer accurancy, detail, reliability, and flexibility providing you with a highly accurate representation of the detailed road network.
It is the unseen force behind the leading express mail services, emergency and government routing plans, efficient field service management, as well as numerous fleet operations, worldwide.

Full postcode search

To ensure the most accurate postcode search available Truckmate uses Royal Mail. The most comprehensive of it's kind.

Truckmate - more hazard information than any other sat nav designed for trucks

Truckmate uses Navteq transport data to provide the core truck data. However Truckmate also incorporates additional information ensuring more comprehensive cover than other sat navs using the standard Navteq package. Truckmate offers greater cover on smaller, narrower roads where it is most needed. Truckmate has more hazard information on more roads across Europe than any other portable sat nav system designed for trucks.

Snooper's Truckmate sat nav will save you £££'s in fuel and time!

Recent research has shown that a Snooper Truckmate sat nav will pay for itself and quickly. Sat nav users on average drive 16% fewer miles, which means drivers use 16% less fuel. Plus travel times are reduced by 18% on average producing fantastic cost savings at a time when every penny counts, not to mention the cost saved avoiding damage to your vehicle and property on route!

Car navigation

Although Truckmate has clearly been designed to navigate trucks and larger vehicles on safe and legal roads it also incorporates a car setting. Simply switch Truckmate to car mode and it will navigate you on the most effective routes for your car instead!

Auto Ranging

There is no need to set the detection range of the S900, as it automatically calculates the distance required depending on the speed limit. For instance it will alert you 200 meters in advance in a 30mph zone and up to 500 meters in a 70mph zone.

Smart Mute

Snooper S900 recognises your speed. So if you are under the speed limit as you approach a speed camera or high risk zone it will only give you a visual alert. Of course if you are over the speed limit you will get a full audible alert including voice warnings.

Driver Testimonials

John Beddow is an HGV driver for Uniloads, the country's leading specialist in the delivery of commercial vehicles throughout the UK and Europe.

I drive a number of different sizes and types of trucks, and TRUCKMATE has proved invaluable. Although I've used sat navs for years and they've all saved me time, I often used to find myself going 15 miles out of the way before realising I couldn't go any further. Nothing removes the unique hassles of truck driving like TRUCKMATE.

Andy Saunders drives for the UK's leading manufacturer of natural stone and concrete hard-landscaping products.

There's nothing like TRUCKMATE on the market, and there's no comparison with other brands. Every other sat nav was designed for cars, but TRUCKMATE was clearly made with commercial vehicles in mind. Because of the specific restrictions we face every day in our jobs, it's immensely useful for driving in the city and in the country. I recently lent my device to one of my colleagues, and he didn't want to let it go!
