NEW Stay-on-interstate routing just dropped

The truck GPS
that knows
you're a truck.

Features

Everything a driver actually needs. Nothing they don't.

🛣️

Truck-safe routing that stays on the big roads

Routes built for your height, weight, length and hazmat load. "Stay on interstates" is on by default, so you're not threading a 53-footer down a farm road.

14K

Truck stops, built in

Truck stops, rest areas, weigh stations and more ship inside the app — they show up fast, even with weak signal.

⚖️

Weight & hazmat signs

Weight limits in US tons, no-hazmat and no-truck roads marked right on the map.

🅿️

Driver reports

Parking, scale status, diesel prices, hazards and reviews from other drivers.

⏱️

Hours of service planner

See your drive time left at a glance. Turn it on or off — your call.

🎙️

Voice that sounds right

Clear turn-by-turn voice with speed and style settings — including a "Deep & laid-back" style — plus one-tap mute.

🛰️

Satellite, night map & truck-up

Flip to satellite to eyeball a yard, let the map go dark at night, and keep it pointed the way you're rolling.

🚧

Oversize & overweight

Enter your load's width, length, height and weight. See, state by state, the permits, pilot cars, high-pole car and travel hours your route needs.

How it works
