EOBR, GPS, tire monitor combo

Nov 15, 2011

The trucking-specific WorldNav GPS stores a database of weight stations and truck stops with facility information that can be found along specified routes. It also has expanded My Point entry options and trip statistics for more efficient record keeping and acts as an electronic onboard recorder. The unit offers an integrated tire pressure monitoring system that displays tire information on the WorldNav screen.[I believe tire pressure system is option.] Five- and 7-in. screen options are available.
