PermitNav turns your state oversize/overweight (OSOW) permit into the route it authorizes — with truck turn-by-turn navigation, so you stay on the permitted roads instead of a generic GPS line. Snap photos or upload the PDF of your state permit and PermitNav reads the route table, rebuilds the route road by road across the roads your permit names and checks it against the permit — then guides you down it, turn by turn. WHY DRIVERS USE IT • Permit to route without typing in a single road. • Before you drive, the review screen shows the permit's width, height, length and weight, its dates, any movement-time restriction, and every condition printed on the permit. • Road restriction notes on your route — bridge heights, closures, seasonal limits — from the state agencies' published data. • Voice-guided turn-by-turn, posted speed limits, and live speed; off-route alerts and guidance back to the permitted route. • Driver logbook: miles today, drive time, and time since your last break. • Crowd-sourced DOT/inspection alerts along your route. • Saved permits and routes, dark/light/auto themes, and car navigation for everyday driving. FREE + PAID • Free: car navigation. • Subscriptions (Starter, Standard, Pro, or Fleet) unlock permit reading, permitted-route building, and truck routing. • Or buy a one-time permit credit to read a single permit. 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. Terms of Use: https://pythn.app/permitroute/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://pythn.app/permitroute/privacy.html

RouteAll turns your oversize or overweight permit into a route you can drive. Upload the permit PDF your state issued. RouteAll reads the permit number, the dimensions, the weights, the validity dates and — the part that matters — the specific highways the permit requires you to stay on. Then it navigates that exact corridor, turn by turn, and warns you the moment you leave it. No transcribing a turn list into a consumer GPS that has never heard of your load. WHAT IT DOES • Reads state-issued oversize and overweight permits from a PDF or a photo • Extracts dimensions, weights, validity dates and the mandated road chain • Shows every field it read, with a confidence mark, so you approve before you drive • Turn-by-turn guidance along the permitted route • Spoken warning the moment you leave the permitted corridor • Works through dead zones — the route lives on your device • Says so plainly when GPS is lost, instead of showing a frozen position • Share a route with your pilot cars, free to send and free to view BUILT FOR THE CAB Alerts are spoken in the language your phone is set to: English, Spanish, Punjabi, Russian, Ukrainian and Somali. A warning you cannot understand is a warning that did not happen. FREE TO TRY One free trip every month: upload up to 6 state permits for one journey. No card required. Escort and pilot-car drivers can view a shared route free, forever, with no subscription. IMPORTANT RouteAll does not issue permits and does not guarantee compliance. It reads the permit you already hold and helps you follow it. Always check the extracted details against the permit document itself before you drive.
