Don’t waste your money

I want my money back for the lies. I was under the impression that I’d be able to see frost laws and which roads had weight restrictions and or speed restrictions. But it doesn’t. I even contacted support and still never got any help on it. They told me I had to long press on an area to see restrictions. Every area I pressed on that I know for sure had both speed and weight restrictions would show nothing. I didn’t try it for the 7 day trial so I had to pay Luckily I only paid for the 7 days and nothing bigger.

Getting worse

I’ve been using this app for about 10 years and it’s getting worse with every update more glitchy more timeouts more interaction required I am beginning to trust it less

👍🏻

Best phone app I could find. Using it for a couple of years now!!

Not a fan

I gave this one three days. Constantly resetting, I had to restart my tablet repeatedly to get it to work at all. It doesn’t show you the distance to your way points, just overall distance to destination. I found the overall layout to be slower to reference and have
Less detail. Several voice directions were wrong or missing important information. Information on stops was scant and hard to find. Overall a less intuitive platform with cheap, imprecise graphics and poor reliability. I wasted $30.

Needs improvement

For the most part it does what it’s intended for, but on many occasions it misses the entrance when there is no prohibition. Overall this app can use some improvements.
