Unreliable

The idea was great. And it was fully free in the beginning. I used it for many years. When it was working, it was the best one could get to drive a truck. The UI though was designed for those who sit comfortably at the desk, not for in-cab use, when you need a split of a sec to read the data you need. Unlike all other apps, this one has been the most unstable. Every next update - lost data, app’s crashing. Far from what an app for work must be.

Hi, thank you for this feedback. Our navigation and map features are provided by HERE technologies. If there are any specific roads or routes to report please provide the your origin, destination, and the approximate address of discrepancy so we can relay for further investigation!

This app has a soul. It’s calm and gentle. Thoughtful and precise. I love it. It always gets me there.

Update maps

Please update your maps they are badly out of date. Completely missing road. Taking me on length and weight restricted roads regularly.

The app needs to update app so the app takes to to the back of the stores instead of taking you to the front of the stores.
