GPS for drivers on Planned Routes - tablet app or SATNAV?

Hi all,

Here is my situation. I am working on a project for my company to (finally) get GPS guidance for drivers on planned cyclical routes/journeys (i.e. always the same journey every year).

Most of the solutions I have seen are good for A to B mapping but not so hot on planned routes (i.e. either pre-mapped or simply recording a route while it is being driven and then play-back).

A perfect solution would also map 'service areas' on a journey. :ugeek:

Does anyone know of a SATNAV or Android tablet app that will do this??

Many thanks

The Magellan series of Satnavs used to have a function for recording routes as they were being driven. These are probably a bit "old hat" now, but I am sure that there will be some up to date ones available - perhaps you could try in the hiking/trekking/Outward Bound shops? Alternatively, look for an A to B satnav that allows you to set as many "go via" points as you need. (My satnav includes service stations as "Points of Interest"!)
