Using our expertise as a designer and manufacturer of navigational products within the United States of America, we have worked with our sister brand Snooper, incorporating their award winning Ventura caravan and motorhome software for the European market.
Snooper Ventura navigational software was the first to include dedicated routing designed specifically for caravans and motorhomes for Europe when launched in 2009. Simply enter the height, width and weight of you vehicle and Ventura will automatically calculate a route avoiding low bridges, weight restrictions and many other hazards, ideal for drivers of larger vehicles.
Ventura is the most comprehensive portable sat nav system designed specifically for caravans and motorhomes on the market. Ventura uses Here® Maps for Life transport data at it's core, but Ventura is further enhanced but 1000's more attributes combining to give far more comprehensive cover of hazards on more roads than any other system on the market.
