Hammer: Truck GPS & Maps 4+

Very nice

As someone who has been using this every day for quite a while, for a free app this is really good. The first thing I will ask is PLEASE bring back lane position. It used to have a box in the top left that showed real time how many lanes there were and arrows in all of the lanes that you could be in to stay on course. This made it much easier to stay on course with the audio turned off (my preference). The app was working better before one of the recent updates because when I used to go off course it would start to spasticity say “recalculating” but eventually it would recover. Now when I go off course it usually will be able to provide an adjusted route with the blue arrow on the map but the header that tells you the upcoming turns and street names is usually stuck on the turn that I went off course. And one other thing that’s not that important is when using the search feature I will put in an address and the results that pop up usually has the street listed above the address itself. Example: Search: 123 Main st. Results: [ Main st. [ 123 Main st. If you are in a hurry and click on just the street name it routes you to a random location on that street. If you guys can fix any or all of these concerns that would be great, very happy to be using this free app and I recommend it to all my colleagues. Thanks!

Very Good Free Truck App

I usually use this app when I rent a U Haul truck and its done a pretty good job guiding me and keeping me on the roads and highway I’m allowed on. If you’re using this app for U Hauls too (15 foot or less), I would recommend using another GPS , one that you would normally use for regular cars/vehicles, along with this app because sometimes this app will make you take really slow or long lasting routes because I think it calculates the trip as if you’re one of those big trucks, which have more limitations on the roads/streets than the U Hauls. I would follow the regular GPS as long as it keeps me off parkways, and of course just be mindful of the height of your truck incase theres a street that has an overpass or something. Usually what will happen is after following the regular GPS, this truck app will recalculate the route and start giving almost the same directions as the regular one, give or take if it says to take a parkway, then you’ll need to alternate between apps and make sure you take the correct road or highway.

Truck driver

This is the only app in the market that is accurate it has lots of features that a truck driver needs to be safe and not to get lost where most app will do key factor is the hub right where you can see it and weather report I can’t say enough about this app it’s totally amazing I know I be only had it about two weeks now and I have compared it with garmin and rand McNally not to mention other apps like google maps which is not trucker friendly and Waze you spend too much time pushing buttons which is not safe in a commercial vehicle I’m still working with it and believe it or not it has not let me down at least not yet again this app deserves a five star just because so far it doesn’t stand up to other devices and apps good job .update I have notice that at times it’s it fails to calculate times to distance so let me say this if they can fix this only glitch that I see and tested I still use and rely on this incredible app .
