It has saved me going down wrong roads on so many occasions. It has hgv maps for the uk and is extremely good value for money. Now it freezes occasionally but when it does it becomes a major issue to stop my truck to get it rebooted. At the beginning it used to freeze frequently however this was sorted out by the help line who guided me to remove unwanted European maps. It also has the ability to play photos, music etc and has many helpful apps like calculators etc. So to some up, excellent response, great mapping, good big screen size of 7” and ability to enter many waypoints and also ability to enter addresses in via Lat and Long, Town, Post Code or point on the map. I usually plan my route using various on-line maps and the force the Sat Nav to follow my routing and this works well for me. I also love the feature of being able to put many waypoints in - I haven’t been able to exhaust it yet. It has a well laid out map screen with the road you are currently on showing at the bottom and the next road to take at the top.
Having said that, the positives are that so far (used for just over a year), if you allow it to plan a route it does avoid difficulties such as low bridges etc and I find it fast and clear to read the instructions. The negative points (they all have them) is that if you take it off route and attempt to drive under a low bridge, for instance, it will happily do that! It’s also not very intuitive to use, some of its useful features being difficult to find.
It allows not only vehicle dimensions to be input but also speed - very useful for ETAs. I needed a Sat Nav that could handle large vehicles and the 886 certainly does that.
