HGV Sat Nav

My dad, has recently gotten a job driving HGVs and is travelling the country everyday. He has a standard Tomtom but it is only for cars etc.

So he was wanting a Sat Nav for HGV drivers for Christmas and I was wondering a few things, firstly is their a way of getting a memory card with the HGV maps installed or would you need to buy a new Sat Nav completely? (surely the routes are all software therefore the hardware wouldn't need to be updated?)

Secondly if you do have to buy the whole kit and kaboodle does anyone have any recommendations as well as links or prices?

I know Garmin make a unit specifically designed for truckers, but I've no idea how good or otherwise it is.

There's a couple of HGV specific ones -

You can also download POI files for the TomTom for Height/Width restriction etc, but the TomTom won't necessarily plan a route based on the POI files.

If you have a Halfords near to where you live then they sell them.
