Turn off the in-game GPS. TruckSim GPS shows your truck on a live map on your phone or tablet while you drive Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) or American Truck Simulator (ATS) on your PC, with voice directions, lane guidance and 300+ compatible map mods. You need the game running on a Windows PC; there is no truck game inside the app. Pair your phone with the free PC Telemetry by scanning a QR code, on Wi-Fi or mobile data. The built-in route advisor has a few fixed zoom levels and shows little of the road ahead, so most players end up pausing to open the world map. On the phone you get the whole map: pinch, drag and turn it with your fingers, in 2D or 3D. Mount it next to your wheel, hide the in-game HUD and drive by the GPS on your dash. KEY FEATURES • Job routes: take a job and its route appears by itself. With no job, the app routes you to the waypoint you set in the in-game GPS or to the pickup of the job you selected • Voice navigation: 10 voices in 12 languages, with voice effects, on your phone or your PC speakers • Lane guidance: shows the road's lanes and which one to be in before each turn • Accurate routes: they follow one-way roads, real exits and the turns each junction allows • Route planner: search for gas stations, rest areas, garages and service on your route, or tap the map to add a stop • Real or simulator ETA: distances and arrival times in real or game scale. Tap REAL or SIM to switch • Sim dashboard: speedometer with the speed limit, fuel gauge, gear indicator and compass • Job info: cargo, pay, delivery time and fatigue • 3D camera and dynamic zoom: the map tilts and follows your truck, zooms out as you speed up and back in near junctions • Portrait and landscape, on phones and tablets • Road Trip DLC: car jobs and Atlas routes COMPATIBLE MAP MODS (free for all users) Detected from your game profile and downloaded by the app, in any order you combine them. • ETS2 ProMods Europe + Middle East + Maghreb + The Great Steppe • ETS2 TruckersMP map areas • ETS2 RusMap • ETS2 Roextended • ETS2 Poland Rebuilding • ETS2 Explorando A America (EAA) • ATS Expansion • ATS Reforma + Sierra Nevada • ATS ProMods Canada • ATS Coast To Coast • ATS Alaska North to the Future • ATS More American Cities • And 300+ more: the full list is at trucksimgps.com/map-mods HOW TO GET STARTED 1.
