TruckMap - Truck GPS Routes 4+

Works 99% of the time so far it’s the best out of all the other apps on here if u put in reefer it takes u to the grocery loading docks most of the time and it shows u a truck friendly way on how to enter a location I said it works 99% of the time the other 1% like many other truck gps they’re not 100% accurate so u need to satillite view and plan before u start and just be aware of ur surroundings and read signs don’t just follow the blue line it’s lead to me weight restricted roads and no trucks allowed but rarely once in a awhile and it has an option to take the fastest route it took me thru back streets and gravel kind scary with a 18 wheeler and a road with two lanes but my truck took up both lanes i followed it with no issues but I would still to the normal setting for routes that was a risky route but anyways this is the best on the App Store I wouldn’t download anything else others just go off google or they charge a subscription to do wat truck map does

This app has helped very much to find truck routes in unfamiliar areas, especially the East Coast where there are many truck restrictions and low overpasses. HOWEVER some annoyances need to be addressed:
1: Cannot access settings while navigating. 2: Once exiting navigation, settings can be accessed but they are very basic. I drive a large, 13 ton box truck with a 13’ height but noticed that the routes favor taking “three lefts” rather than one simple right turn which I can totally do in this thing. Settings don’t seem to allow for the fact that I don’t have a trailer and can turn on a dime in spite of my height.
3: I forgot what the third thing was. Oh yeah! The map keeps resetting to “Default, Sound On” rather than “Satellite, Sound Off” every time I reopen the app. GRRRR!
4: (I just remembered the fourth thing which was actually the third thing but whatever, you’re probably not reading this anyway but I really do love this app. Mostly.) I would like to be able to get rid of the quick menu of icons at the bottom of the screen. It gobbles up valuable real estate and I do not use those shortcuts ever. Let us hide them! Thank you

Driving a rented moving truck from Boston to Philly. Trucks above 8’ tall cannot be driven on any of the parkways (e.g. the Merritt or the Hutch), so I was looking for an alternative route. Other mapping apps such as Waze or Google Maps don’t incorporate truck restrictions.
Truck Map filled that gap and should be perfect for the job, but the app has some real issues. First off, the battery draw. When running, on my iPhone with all other apps closed, this thing completely drained the battery early on in the trip, despite my phone being on the vehicle’s USB charger. The charger just couldn’t keep up. I had shifted the phone to low power mode to stop any background apps from running, but I still couldn’t prevent my phone battery from dying.
Second big issue is the lag. It seems to run a bit behind your actual location. It does NOT give timely alerts for turns or exits. It announces the next change in direction just after completing the previous change, with no additional verbal warning as you approach the turn/exit, or it does so only as you are passing it by. TOO late!
If fixed, it could be a very useful app, as no other navigation apps seems to handle truck permitted routing.
