Cruze Maps
Read full descriptionHide full description
Cruze Maps is navigation and driver intelligence built for Class-8 truck drivers and the fleets that run them. Cruze reads live public traffic-camera feeds and uses computer vision plus a physics-informed traffic model to anticipate stop-and-go phantom waves before you reach them, then surfaces an advisory suggested speed on your phone or your Apple CarPlay display. Every recommendation is advisory. You remain fully responsible for operating your vehicle at all times. Why smoother beats faster: easing into a slowdown instead of braking hard into it saves fuel, reduces wear on your truck, and helps settle the wave for everyone behind you. FEATURES - Truck-aware navigation with a clean, glanceable heads-up display - Advisory suggested speeds drawn from live traffic-camera intelligence - Apple CarPlay support, so advisories appear on your in-dash screen with eyes on the road - Sonic diagnostics: on-device vibration analysis that flags possible tire, engine, or suspension issues worth checking - Drive events: automatic logging of hard braking and rough road for your own record - A private trip black box and incident awareness for peace of mind - Driver profile with a personal safety score BUILT TO RIDE ALONGSIDE YOUR ELD Cruze Maps is a navigation and operations tool. It is not an electronic logging device and not an hours-of-service system. It works next to your certified ELD and does not replace it. ADVISORY, NEVER DIRECTIVE Everything Cruze shows is informational. Traffic conditions change, so use your own judgment, obey all posted speed limits and traffic laws, and keep your attention on the road. Cruze is starting in Texas and expanding from there.
