Avtex Satnav. Club edition
Has anyone had experience of the Club’s Avtex Satnav, please? I have previously used a Snooper with mixed feelings as some of the routes were questionable.

I’ve got Tourer One because it was a standard fitting in my MH.
Mine works as well as any other Garmin sat nav but I’d not pay the club's price just for having a couple of apps installed. Garmin themselves sell an equivalent model into which you can input your vehicle dimensions.
Be aware that, in my experience, despite having the apps installed it’s still necessary to follow the club's written directions on the final approach as the sat nav won’t necessarily take you to the site entrance.
You'll find other similar threads if you search around.

Struggled with not knowing which lane to take on a roundabout, where the correct turning was, where the next hold up might be etc etc.
Whats your experience of the Garmin Avtex, LL?

You’ll probably find something on Amazon or eBay.

We’ve recently bought the Avtex Tourer One, whilst I’ve not used it with the caravan yet, I have used it in my car (to get used to using it, before I really need to) and I found it really good, clear timely voice instructions & map details on the screen. 😊

Hi, has anyone actually bought the Avtex Tourer 2? It's a few quid cheaper at Capital Outdoors and yet to me appears expensive regardless. I would appreciate your opinion as an owner. at the moment I use a Michelin Europe Atlas. Many thanks and stay safe, Sam.

I bought a Avtex Tourer 2 last year and am very pleased with it although I do admit that it is rather expensive. I must admit that I do check routes before I go as I tow on my own so don't have the beauty of a navigator but the sat nav is a good reminder of impending turnings and lane discipline.
Not had many problems with questionable routes, although I have exaggerated the size i.e. length, width, height, and found a few things that surprised me. It will warn you of dangerous bends (which I think it refers to as curves) and strong winds. The traffic warnings do seem to be accurate although on a few occasions the problem has been in my vicinity rather than the actual road I was on. It also shows text messages from your mobile phone and can be updated via WiFi without computer or can be connected to a computer the choice is yours.
I was going to invest in their wireless reversing camera, the BC40 I think it is, as it can be used in conjunction with the Tourer 2 screen. While the demo was first class with easy operation and superb image the unit itself is very flimsy and merely clips into a plastic carrier and I would have thought could easily fall out with wear or be stolen.

I am new to Motorhoming and have bought an Avtex Tourer 2 sat nav. I like the fact it has the Club sites listed. I also find the directions are clear and the map easy to use. However, when I went to the Chatsworth site this week, as I came out of Baslow it told me the site was on the right when it is in fact on the left. fortunately I did know it was on the left, but if I didn't it could have been confusing.

Yep, it seems to work to postcodes so you still need to follow the clubs written instructions. Great, eh?🙄
