Last time I bought a standalone device, I bought an XGODY - no, I'd not
heard of them before either, but it came with a bigger screen and for a
lot lower price than any of the alternatives, as well as bluetooth
connectivity and an FM tramsmitter (so I could in theory use it to get a
smartphone to play through the car which doesn't have that facility -
also, which is what I used it for mostly, am mp3 player). Yes, it had
the facility to enter assorted lorry (truck) parameters, presumably so
it could select routes that take those into account. Came with maps of
most of the world; I only used the UK ones, but they seemed fine. 3D
views if wanted, also lane markings/signage at many exits. I was very
pleased with it - yes some slight quirks, but easily got used to.
