How does truck GPS navigation in this app work?

The app plans routes with a focus on vehicle needs, so drivers can review directions before setting out. It also helps locate places to rest and refuel along the way.

Version 7.1.7 expands how routes can be shaped. You can add a via point or avoid a location, compare route options by distance and number of stops, and see alternative paths.

What is new in version 7.1.7?

This release adds alerts for traffic, weather and road hazards, so drivers get warned while on the road. Routing has been tuned to reduce how often the route has to be recalculated.

Live traffic camera views and 511 road data can now be shown along the route. The update also includes bug fixes and performance improvements.

Is Trucker Path: Truck GPS & Fuel free, and does it have ads?

The app is free to download from Google Play. It contains ads and also offers in-app purchases, so some features or extras may cost money.

Check the in-app purchase prices in the store listing before relying on any paid feature.

Android requirements and download size

The app requires Android 8.0 or later. Check the Google Play listing for the current download size, since it can change with each update.

Because it relies on live map, traffic and alert data, it works best on a device with a stable data connection.

Pros and cons

On the plus side, the app is free, widely installed, highly rated, and focused on truck-specific routing and alerts. The 7.1.7 update adds useful route control options.

On the downside, ads appear in the app and some features are sold as in-app purchases. Live features depend on a data connection, and the app needs Android 8.0 or later.

The app suits commercial drivers and owner-operators who want routing and stop information built around larger vehicles. Casual car drivers may find simpler map apps sufficient.
