it ma be one of the better free truck gps, but if you follow it faithfully, sometimes it gives you the absolutely wrong address or the route adds unnecessary twists and turns. (yet it does very well on avoiding low bridges). the app is good but I wish it was more accurate and considered traffic and road work.

Though I can appreciate a GPS navigation for truckers, this one needs improvement. For one the app is slow and I find myself having to tap the navigation button multiple times to get it started. The. The second problem is that it doesn't run well in the background. The second you leave the app to open up a new one, and then try to reopen it, you have to start over. This is extremely frustrating knowing that since we are often times driving and this happens it can be a pain.

I'll give it some stars! For what it's worth, it's ok. Left my GPS at the house for some stupid reason! Got hired on with a company that's based in the mid-west but all the run is the East coast states so yeah! Need to know where them LOW BRIDGES 🌉 and 🚫🚛 ROUTES ARE! And so far it's ok! It lags a bit and you have to keep it open in order for it to track but it's free! Can't really complain! It's just a tool 🔧 like any other to help us out! (ALWAYS CROSS REFERENCE)

I'll give it 4 stars bcuz of a few issues. When You 1st download the app, It Specifically asks for permissions to run in the background, but it doesn't. If it doesn't stay open, it won't navigate. You can't really Edit the routes. Like Avoid This Rd or Hwy. If it says Take I-70E and you want to go I-75N, you'll just havta wait till it reroutes. You can pick a stop along the route you want and It Might choose that way. And it won't say, Have Arrived. Just continues to next stop. Other than great.

While in the city of Ithica, NY, this app directed me to go down 2 weighted roads, and 3 low bridges, 12'2, and 2@ 12'6". I had it set to auto hauler, and set for weighted roads, and every other setting adjusted properly. You're going to cost someone their job. We can't just turn around anywhere. I don't just blindly follow any gps, but some do. This app doesn't even follow established truck routes a lot of the time. Get an experienced driver to advise your team ASAP. This is unusable currently.

TruckMap has a lot of potential, but it does some crazy things. If an interstate has one toll lane (express lane) it tries to route you down backroads instead of allowing you to juat not use the express lane, which is generally illegal anyway. It also sometimes wants you to drive past an exit or street and pull a u-turn! The rest is great, but if it fails at its core (navigation), I cannot give it very many stars.

Absolutely Awesome. Has been working Great! Much better than Google Maps. And Trucker Route. Has Route planning. Satellite view. LED us right into the Receiver/Shipper's Parking Lot. Has a male's voice that's easy to hear and understand. Shows all Walmart's on map. And Truck stops. If you close the app out it comes back up with the last route that was set. And auto continues. I love this app. No complaints so far. Good Job!

The maps are solid and directions are accurate. Two things that, if adjusted, would make this a good trucking app. 1. Way too late on turn-by-turn directions. It will tell you that 5 miles take the exit but then that's just it. If you're not looking at the map, you have no other notification to take the exit. 2. When putting in an address for your stop, it will get you there and save the address but if you want to put a company name, you cannot edit. Better off with another app.

I had been using this app for a few years and while it had its drawbacks it was a really good app. Since the "major upgrade" I have had nothing but problems with it. I don't know how you guys figure a route but it gave me a route 55 miles longer than taking the freeway. It didn't even come close to a decent route. Yesterday it just quit altogether. I open it up and it just closes itself out almost immediately. Maybe you could call Google and get some advice

Very good and it's working well, but: - A live compass would be useful. - A global search field would be useful. And of course, the possibility to add a stop point from search results. - The vehicle marker is not steady and the map doesn't move smooth. Many times the marker disapears or follows adiacent roads. - I can minimize the app but when maximize it the active route disapear. That happens after 30 or more minutes of minimization. That's all at the moment. Thank you for the app!
