<p>The Department has had no such recent discussions.</p><p> </p><p>The Department
is aware that manufacturers produce special satnav devices for lorries, in order to
provide them with routing information appropriate to their vehicle.</p><p> </p><p>The
Government has invested £3 million to help create a digital road map, with one aim
being to ensure traffic keeps moving efficiently and safely on suitable routes. It
includes information such as road widths, which could be used in satnavs to improve
the quality and accuracy of routing advice. The map is available online at: <a href="http://www.os.uk/highways"
target="_blank">www.os.uk/highways</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Routing guidance provided by
satnavs should only ever be considered as advisory. It is for individual device owners
to ensure that they use their satnavs responsibly and with a proper understanding
of their limitations. It is for individuals to determine the best route for their
journey.</p>
