Traffic layer - You'll see yellow and red lines on the map when there's traffic ahead (not perfect). I've also bumped the Waze alerts up to check every 5 miles ahead instead of every 20 miles. - This means you'll see traffic alerts more often and they'll be more accurate. - This also means the traffic bill has tripled. Help out by spreading the word about this app so more people subscribe. Then I can bump it from every 5 miles to every 1 mile ahead, which will match the same real time traffic alerts shown in Google Maps and Waze. - CarPlay will display traffic lines as well Thank you for reading, safe trip

Roundabouts

Lates in quite a few roundabouts r wrong so now I don’t trust them it not just this app it’s also tomtom should use Waze for guidance on lanes if possible thank for fixing it the zoom out so I don’t have to press location first

Response from developer

Thanks bud. Yes, I’m inheriting Lane Guidance from TomTom, so if they got it wrong, it gets passed to me wrong as well. I’ve found that most of the time, it’s wrong at roundabouts. Motorways are fine. There’s not much I can do, as I have no control over Lane Guidance, so I’d recommend not trusting it 100%. Hopefully, this will be improved in the future

The best app!!!

Michael HGV is by far the best HGV navigation app I’ve used. It is specifically designed with professional HGV drivers in mind, and you can immediately tell the difference compared with standard car navigation apps.

The routes are clear and reliable, and the app takes into account important HGV restrictions such as vehicle dimensions, weight limits and unsuitable roads. The interface is also easy to use, which is especially important when you’re driving long distances and need information quickly.

What I like most is that it feels like the app was actually designed around the needs of truck drivers rather than simply adapting a car navigation system for HGVs. It gives you confidence in the route and makes driving much less stressful.

I’ve tried several HGV navigation systems, but Michael HGV is the one I would recommend without hesitation. For professional HGV drivers, this is easily one of the best navigation apps available.

Thanks mate safe trip 👍

1st impression after a shift

I used it last night for my night shift shift. I traveled up to Glasgow from Haydock. All round fantastic when it comes to planning a route, the satellite map helps when needing to find the goods-in entrance of a site. A con I’ve found is when you are driving your calculated route, you can’t zoom in or out on apple car play. Which is annoying as though I can only see about 800m ahead on the satnav, so it doesn’t allow me to plan ahead. It does however allow me to zoom in and out when I haven’t set a calculated route which is weird. Is there something I’m missing or did I inadvertently file a bug report who knows, I’ll change my rating if it gets fixed. Hopefully it gets fixed in the next day or so, as though I only have a 3 day trial. This HGV nav is so much better than Tomtom go apart from that one thing.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback, bud. Yes, the CarPlay issue has been fixed in the upcoming update. You’ll be able to adjust the camera however you see fit. As I didn’t have any previous experience with CarPlay, this was an oversight on my end. I had set a single camera value for all screens, which simply wasn’t the right approach. Some screens are larger, some are smaller, so while it might have looked great on mine, it could look terrible on yours. With the update, you’ll be able to go to Settings (on your phone) and adjust the camera to suit your screen. You can even set different camera positions for Urban, Normal, and Motorway speeds.
