## What is hvNavigator?

hvNavigator — heavy vehicle navigation that complies

Car GPS wasn’t built for cranes, trucks, or oversize loads. hvNavigator was.
It combines HGV routing with permit-aware compliance — mapping bridge restrictions, conditional crossings, and approved networks into routes you can actually drive.

Key features
- Permit-aware routing that excludes restricted structures
- Voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation
- Routes planned for vehicle size, weight, and handling
- Warnings for restricted and high-risk structures on your trip
- Re-routing that stays within compliance rules
- Fleet tools for vehicles, users, and permit data
- Regional networks: NZ (Heavy Haul, HPMV, 50MAX, height and DG overlays), Australia (NHVR routes), and US corridor support where enabled.

For: crane operators, heavy truck drivers, and fleet managers who need compliant routing in the field.

Wrong bridge, wrong route — fines, delays, and real safety risk. hvNavigator puts permit intelligence on the map.
