TruckMap provides specialized GPS routing for commercial vehicles with truck-optimized routes, hazard avoidance, and driver amenities. Designed specifically for professional truck drivers needing reliable navigation beyond standard GPS capabilities.

Detailed Review

TruckMap represents a specialized navigation solution developed exclusively for commercial truck drivers, addressing critical gaps in consumer-grade GPS applications. The app distinguishes itself through vehicle-specific routing that accounts for commercial vehicle restrictions, making it particularly valuable for professional haulers operating large rigs through complex transportation networks. The application's core functionality centers on customized routing parameters that accommodate truck height, weight, and hazardous material restrictions. Users can input specific vehicle dimensions and preferences to avoid low clearance bridges, weight-restricted roads, and toll routes. The turn-by-turn navigation incorporates real-time commercial vehicle restrictions, providing routing that complies with truck-specific regulations across different jurisdictions. Additional features include diesel fuel station locators, weigh station information, and overnight parking availability at major truck stops and retail locations like Walmart. User experience demonstrates a practical interface designed for in-cab use, with large touch targets and clear visual guidance. The integration of Google Street View provides valuable visual reference points for navigation decisions. Real-world usage patterns show drivers frequently relying on the app for last-mile navigation to destinations that standard GPS systems struggle to locate, particularly industrial sites and distribution centers. Some users report occasional map lag, as noted by SimpsonKid08 on April 21, 2025, though this appears mitigated through proper phone mounting and supplemental road sign observation. User feedback analysis reveals strong appreciation for the app's specialized routing capabilities. Sedique407's April 7, 2025 review highlights how the application successfully navigates to locations that dedicated GPS devices like Garmin Dezl cannot locate. However, multiple reviews including from Unnecessary Routes (April 29, 2025) indicate occasional routing inefficiencies where the application suggests longer paths than necessary, particularly in unfamiliar territories. The free pricing model receives consistent praise, with Trucker Steven's May 22, 2025 review emphasizing the value proposition compared to paid alternatives. The application demonstrates significant strengths in specialized routing and comprehensive truck-specific amenities, though occasional routing inefficiencies and interface lag represent areas for improvement. TruckMap serves as an effective supplemental navigation tool rather than a complete replacement for dedicated GPS hardware, particularly valuable for final destination navigation and route verification. Its optimal use case involves professional drivers operating various truck configurations who require reliable navigation to non-standard destinations while avoiding commercial vehicle restrictions.

This app was very beneficial from keeping me out of trouble with regards to tunnels that did not allowed you to bring propane bottles into as well as steering clear of very small bridges like some of the ones that cross over to Delaware in northern New Jersey the only thing I wish that was possible was that the volume of the voice prompts could be turned up a little louder over the other items that also come over the Bluetooth connection otherwise I found this app very useful. Thank you.
