## What is PermitNav?

PermitNav turns your state oversize/overweight (OSOW) trucking permit into the exact permitted route — with turn-by-turn navigation built for heavy haul.

Snap a photo or upload the PDF of your state permit and PermitNav reads the routing table and rebuilds the precise route across the roads your permit names — then guides you down it, turn by turn.

WHY DRIVERS USE IT
• Permit-to-route in seconds — no manually typing in every road.
• Follows the permitted roads exactly, in the right direction, for the right distance.
• Every turn is checked against your permit, so you know the route is right before you roll.
• Low-clearance, weight, and width warnings on the roads ahead.
• Voice-guided turn-by-turn, posted speed limits, and live speed.
• Driver logbook: miles today, drive time, and time since your last break.
• Crowd-sourced DOT/inspection alerts along your route.
• Save routes, dark/light/auto themes, and standard car or truck GPS for everyday driving — free and unlimited.

FREE + PAID
• Free: unlimited standard car navigation.
• Permit routing: a subscription (Starter, Standard, Pro, or Fleet) or a one-time permit credit.

IMPORTANT — ALWAYS FOLLOW YOUR OFFICIAL PERMIT
PermitNav is a driver aid, not a substitute for your permit or professional judgment. Always follow the official permit and posted signage, and field-verify clearances before every move.

SUBSCRIPTIONS
PermitNav offers auto-renewing monthly subscriptions: Starter ($9.99/mo), Standard ($19.99/mo), Pro ($39.99/mo), Fleet ($99.99/mo), plus a one-time permit credit ($1.99). Payment is charged to your Apple ID at purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel in your Apple ID Account Settings. Prices are in USD and may vary by region.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.5 — 2026-09-01

This update focuses on long drives and reliability.

ON THE ROAD
• Fixed a freeze that could stop the CarPlay map from moving partway through a drive. Touching the car screen no longer parks the camera — guidance keeps following you, and the map keeps drawing even while your phone screen is off.
• Ending navigation now takes one tap, and closing the app really ends the drive — no stuck navigation coming back on its own.
• If a drive was interrupted, PermitNav asks before picking the trip back up instead of silently resuming.

ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN
• The Live Activity now shows your destination along with each turn.
• The drive card ends when your drive ends — no leftover cards sitting on the Lock Screen.

YOUR SAVED WORK
• Saved places and saved routes can no longer be lost if the app hits a bad read — and saved places now sync with your account.

ALL AROUND
• Confirmation dialogs now always appear when the app asks you something — nothing gets silently skipped.
• Clearer error messages, prices always shown straight from the App Store, and better support for VoiceOver and larger text.

### 1.2.4 — 2026-08-23

Missouri permits are now supported — upload a MoDOT Carrier Express permit and get the exact permitted route.

• Fixed routes that briefly left a highway and rejoined it at an interchange.
• Posted speed limits now change along the route instead of showing one limit for a whole leg.
• The map re-centres on you automatically after you pan or zoom.
• Choosing the permit state now takes a single tap.
• CarPlay: the map keeps rendering when the phone screen turns off.

### 1.2.3 — 2026-08-11

CarPlay fixes from a real drive:

• Your vehicle shows as a moving arrow again on the CarPlay map — it could appear as a destination pin
• CarPlay navigation keeps moving when your phone screen turns off or locks
• The turn card is back to the compact PermitNav design, with the distance, street, and turn arrow on one row
• Your vehicle stays framed on the map instead of drifting to the edge of the screen
• The CarPlay map now glides with you instead of stepping once a second
• Fixed a rare freeze that could happen shortly after opening the app

### 1.2.1 — 2026-08-01

Navigation fixes straight from real drives:

• CarPlay now shows the posted speed limit beside your current speed
• Arrival times stay steady on long trips — no more creeping up an hour and back down
• The driver arrow stays centered and pointed the right way through reroutes
• While a new route is calculated, a dashed line shows the way back to your route
• The satellite view near your destination keeps following your vehicle
• Trip log and turn banners no longer clip long road names

### 1.2.0 — 2026-07-23

CarPlay is enabled and backround navigation location.
