Trucker GPS systems made their way to the group of quality electronic sales items at a time when the existing systems were found incompetent to attend to the needs of the trucks, vans and trailers. Many of the extant GPS systems available were exclusively meant for regular vehicles, and heavy vehicles like trucks benefited little using such standard GPS solutions. Alleyways and low underpasses which usually nod a positive signal for the regular motor vehicles are not permissive to the smooth transport of the trucks. Quite frequently, the truckers are encountered with such hitches where the standard GPS solutions offer bare or petit information to anticipate such impediments.
The mapping software created absolutely for the needs of regular vehicles are unable to help with relevant information and guidance for the truckers, with the exception of some not so relevant signals on the toll roads located ahead.

Some of the latest inventories in the electronic discipline have accommodated the needs of huge vehicles and coupled with the fact that they are affordable at low prices, they are valued additions to the collection of quality electronic sales. The new addition to the cluster of trucker GPS systems, Goodyear GY500X is regarded as a special member due to its ability to offer a dynamic, targeted route for the trucks and analogous heavy vehicles.
Just like other GPS systems, the fundamental feature of Goodyear GY500X enables it to provide truck specific map-reading.
The wide-ranging database for the unit permits it to effectively cope with the impending obstructions-both physical and legal. Aside from that, the points of interest and favorite route are updated from time to time for the assistance of the drivers. Its ability to detect the weigh stations, restricted roads and the gas stations together with its ability to support multiple vehicles make it the real friend of truck drivers, especially those members in a fleet.
The system can store around 50 vehicle profiles at a time along with their specifications
The typical Goodyear GY500X unit has a wide screen 4.3" LCD touch screen with dynamic 3 watt speakers that help to permeate the voice throughout the cabin. A heavy duty windshield mount and alternate mounting options like a 25 ft external antenna are other components that are worth mentioning.
"ProNav", the software used in the GY500X system, is created explicitly for the truckers. Features like built-in NAVTEQ maps of USA and Canada provides specific information during transportation. The Bluetooth Hands-Free and the timely notifications by way of pop-ups allow the driver not to lose attention while driving.
GY500X system works based on the parameters set by the driver which in turn takes in to account the dimensions of the vehicle, and reflects legal obstacles and other adverse conditions like steep heights.
