App

The routing on this app is horrible with correct vehicle settings. Takes me on bridge weight limit restrictions for trucks, back roads not suitable for trucks and hate the way navigations is set up when giving live directions. I even tried changing program settings to truck freeways and still have problems. Even went a step further to get coordinates for each truck entrance at warehouses and won’t even take me to truck entrances for coordinates. Once my sub expires time to look for another app as a back up to my amazing Garmin.

There are better apps

The routes are good, but that’s about it. For some reason my phone gets hot to the touch when I use Smart Truck Route to navigate (this doesn’t happen with any other nav app I’ve used). I also find it hard to understand the voice they used to give directions. During the two day trial period, the app asked me every couple of seconds if I wanted to purchase the product. I’m driving, and there is a pop up blocking the screen, and pushing “no” pulls up an even bigger pop up with like 5 choices on it. And the cancel button is in small print at the bottom. I’m driving, the app knows I’m driving, and it’s trying to get me to interact with it in a way that would completely consume my attention. Do the developers even drive? Please fix your app, and I’ll give it a second try. I do like your current pricing. But it ain’t worth it the way the app is now.

Sorry to hear that your device is getting hot. Please contact us at 786-445-0822 regarding the device getting hot. We appreciate your feedback and will check into the issues you raise.

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.

Sorry but we do rely on the states to provide accurate information and it changes each year. We continue to update the app when new information becomes available.

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
