It depends on the model.

You won't be able to use the original software, but if your device is fairly recent you can run iGO Primo 2, which features truck routing.

You can install iGO Primo, that has truck routing features.

Make sure when you download the maps they have the .ftr file as this is the truck restriction file

Just go to the iGO map section, look at the available map links, see if .ftr files are included.

You may have to go back a couple of editions.

However you don't need all of Europe like TomTom does, you can just have UK or France with the truck file if you want.

The maximum sd card size you can use with your device is 2GB!

It's not difficult, I tried to make it as idiot proof as possible.

Copying the contents to your pc does not cause it to fail to boot.

Did you cut and paste?
