### 5/5 — Exceptional travel

*2026-08-24, version 2.3.13*

It beat the two GPS’s I bought for over $100. The accuracy is 100%. I would be lost without it.

### 3/5 — Better than Sygic, but...

*2026-08-22, version 2.3.13*

This app shows promise, but it's clunky right now. I presently use Spoke, and I love their embedded navigation. Like most others, you're left in the dark until you're "at" the location. Sometimes you're routed to the rear of a business where the address isn't visible. Spoke works around this by making your destination address persistent at the bottom of the screen. Hammer only displays "Final destination" and your arrival time. Hammer makes it possible to shuffle your route, but it's not advisable on the fly since there's quite a bit of tap and drag, Spoke allows a single tap to reroute. The verbal routing on Hammer is male or female, and both are dreadful. Spoke has just one, but it's much more tolerable, and, Spoke excels at accuracy over Hammer. I love that Hammer offers more customizable route options at a better price but they're lagging behind Spoke presently. I just can't convert yet, but they're on my radar.

### 4/5 — Color of the route

*2026-08-19, version 2.3.13*

I’ll would love for it to only show the route being one color.. but most of the roads or lines on the map is showing every thing blue and it’s just so confusing. I might have to go to another truckers app… hopefully this is fixed

### 5/5 — Awesome great

*2026-08-19, version 2.3.13*

This app is a huge help to driving. Download this app and you will be happy

### 5/5 — Truck driver

*2026-08-19, version 2.3.13*

I use it everyday and I love it never taken me down roads I’m not suppose to be on. Let’s me know when weight scales are open and lets me were rest and trucks stops are. Love that it has the bridge heights on it. Definitely will continue spending my money on this.

### 5/5 — Bhajan Daul

*2026-08-19, version 2.3.13*

nice app

### 5/5 — Owner op

*2026-08-19, version 2.3.13*

Best app and cheapest

### 3/5 — It’s ok….

*2026-08-18, version 2.3.13*

I was hoping to replace Trucker Path with this app but on my second day using it, it had me routed to a street that I know is closed(Trucker Path did the same) so I took a different route and this app absolutely freaked out, wanted me to turn around several times to take the original route, and then the drive line completely disappeared and I had to reroute manually to get it back. Then, I missed an exit and again, it freaked out. The rerouting on this app if anything unplanned happens is horrible and therefore unreliable…. Had to use Trucker Path to get me back on route…. If it had better rerouting when things happen, I’d probably stick with it, because Trucker Path is simply overpriced now.

### 5/5 — Nita Boo

*2026-08-18, version 2.3.13*

Love the app

### 5/5 — Good Trucking GPS

*2026-08-18, version 2.3.13*

GPS works great and it gives me always the best route to drive. I work for FedEx Freight and i always changing routes this is why this is very important to my work. Keep up the great work and keep up the good services.
