A navigation for motorhome is indispensable today. Where in the past we still had to navigate with road maps and street books, this is now (fortunately) a thing of the past. Someone had to act as navigator in the camper, which undoubtedly led to a heated atmosphere. It is not for nothing that most camper travelers use a navigation system. We are happy to explain what the options are, what you should take into account and what we can help you with.

Separate navigation system
The advantages of a separate navigation system is that it can be used in several vehicles. The destination or route can also be set indoors with this type of navigation for motorhome. You can choose the place in the motorhome yourself and any updates can also be installed independently. However, there are also disadvantages of a separate navigation system during a camper holiday† For example, it is susceptible to theft and requires annoying chargers and cords. A computer is also often required to install updates.
Built-in navigation system
A clear advantage of a built-in navigation system is that the system looks neat and is in a fixed place. That's why you don't have to bother with stray cords or chargers during a camper trip Europe† But, a built-in navigation for motorhome also has drawbacks. For example, these are generally more expensive, they cannot be installed in other vehicles and the updates (often) have to be performed by a garage. It also appears that these are often already outdated at the time of installation.
Navigation apps
Just a different kind of navigation for motorhome. The advantages of navigation apps are that a smartphone or tablet can be used for more applications. Nowadays (almost) everyone has a smartphone with them and the updates of an app can easily be carried out on the smartphone or tablet. Disadvantages are the often small screen that dwarfs compact campers occasions.

In addition to the choice between a separate, built-in or app as navigation for a motorhome, there are of course several important points. To give you the best possible picture of this, we have drawn up a checklist below that you can think about more.
