A bus and coach sat nav is a specialised navigation device or software tailored for the unique requirements of buses and coaches. It considers factors such as vehicle size, weight, height, and route restrictions to provide optimised navigation that ensures safe and efficient travel on suitable roads.

Unlike standard GPS systems designed for cars, bus and coach sat navs offer advanced features like custom routing for large vehicles, warnings for low bridges, weight-restricted roads, and narrow routes, as well as specialised points of interest such as bus depots and suitable rest stops.

Key features to consider include a large, clear display, live traffic updates, customisable vehicle profiles to input your bus or coach dimensions, route recording, and points of interest relevant to commercial driving. Additional features might include multi-stop route planning and hands-free operation for safer driving.

When setting up your device, ensure you accurately input your vehicle's dimensions, including height, width, length, and weight. The sat nav uses this information to calculate routes that are suitable for your vehicle's size, avoiding routes with restrictions that could pose a challenge.
