Switch Route settings from Quickest to Shortest or Prefer Freeways. Check if you have minimized tolls. The "Minimize Tolls" option might increase your route length substantially.
The Quickest Route setting (Most commonly used) will optimize the best route considering speed, regardless of mileage or distance. The Shortest Route setting will choose the route with the shortest distance, regardless of speed, and may result in more turns. Prefer Freeways will create a route that minimizes State Highways, and favors Interstates which will result in longer routes for shorter distances. You can also use our features of Avoid Point and Via (multiple stops) Points. Press the map for 1 to 2 seconds on the point you wish to avoid (or add), follow the on screen prompts.
No, updates are free for both maps and program.
You can view maps and investigate the menus free of charge. This application is not advertisement supported (so no annoying ads on the screen when you are driving). We are based in the U.S. and have a substantial staff of some of the best programmers in Cambridge and Boston areas. Once you pay the subscription fee, there are no additional fees to route or use the app.

To track your data usage we recommend My Data Manager . This app is free and displays the amount of data used for each app on your phone (or tablet).
Data usage:
1. To minimize data usage, turn the following features OFF: traffic, weather, and auto zoom.
2. Satellite images consume a lot of data. The use of satellite images is recommended only to check your destination entrance and exit.
3. Turn 3G/4G data off altogether after you get the route and just use navigation panel and route to get to your destination. (You will have a cached map in the background).
4. To learn the exact amount of data (megabytes) used, open SmartTruckRoute, then go to Menu, then Settings, then tap on Data Usage.
5. Using conservatively data connections drivers report using less than 1 gig of data for SmartTruckRoute. Most of the phone plans give you more than 2 gigs of data and allow data throttling so that you can effectively have unlimited data.
6. A route cannot be created without being connected to the internet. We use our big servers to optimize your route based on all the reports from employees and your fellow drivers.
7. Maps are stored on your phone as you travel. Maps are very compact.
Accurate GPS position requires that you turn ON Standalone GPS Service on your phone. It is also strongly recommended to turn off wi-fi service as that may conflict with data service and degrade position accuracy. Finally, be sure to position your phone or tablet such that it is close to the windshield. Before creating a route, check to see if your position is accurate. For Tablets that use wifi to communicate to the hotstop we recommend to turn off mobile network location based on wifi and only use GPS Location Services for positioning. Also see Question #43.
Our restrictions are based on road signs. If your dimensions are greater than the state's load limit, please use extra caution when planning your route.
Yes, After you create a route you can use avoid or via to route the way you would like. You can also change from Truck Quickest to Truck Shortest.
Create a route to your final destination and then press with your finger on the location you want to start your trip and select from the menu "Set as start route" Your route will be created from the point you chose. 99.9% of drivers using smarttruckroute do routes from the location they are in and are not interested to see and get confused by the option of creating a route from any other location. That is why option to start from different location is hidden.
You may receive a data connection / internet error if during the time you attempt to create a route your data connection is momentarily lost. Normally we will attempt to contact the server at least twice before displaying this message.
Yes, You can make changes to your subscription within the first 48 hours of purchase. Contact customer service via text message to 724-901-1115 for assistance.
Yes. In addition to the standard Google voice, Android based phones and tablets can use any other text to speech voices found through Google Play such as Ivona and SVOX. This WIKI article gives step by step instructions for selecting and configuring voices on Android systems. To change voice go to Android Settings > Language > Text-to-speech output. Select your voice and speech rate. Listen to the built-in example before saving options selected.
If you cannot hear any voice try to restore the sound by using this free app SoundAbout.
Yes. View the maps using the satellite image option. See instructional video here:
Yes. The traffic overlay option is built in to the maps. To route around the traffic you may want to change your settings from "Truck Quickest" to "Truck Shortest". You can also press on the location you want to avoid and designate it as area to be avoided by your new route. Some of the road closures are shown on the maps. You can also see closures by checking the traffic. No traffic on a section of the freeway will indicate road closure.
Change the route settings to one of the car settings (instead of truck settings), if the route can be created then you can be assured that there is some type of truck restriction such as a low bridge, weight restriction, or commercial vehicle restriction which prohibits the route from being created. Remember to set the settings back to a Truck setting after you are done checking the route.
Your tablet needs to have a built in GPS chipset on its CPU board. The hotspot can be used as an internet connection but it does not replace the need for having a built in GPS (not assisted GPS) on your tablet. You can use GPS Test app to verify if you have fully functional GPS chipset on your tablet.
Most likely this will not happen since we use Google, which is the largest address search engine in the world. If you do not see the address, try to search by business name or the zip code. You might also try the built-in voice recognition, perhaps it will find a better match. If you still need help, call your destination and ask them for an intersection (in other words you need the closest cross street). To search for an intersection type in or say"STREET1 at STREET2, CITY, STATE".
The GPS will try to route you to the closest road even if it is an access road, therefore drive closer to the desired road to be used when exiting the parking area, then create the route.
Enter the length of your trailer (excluding the cab). The mapping data is based on road signage.

For server related issues we recommend you toggle (close then open) the GPS Location service as well as the Cellular Data connection.

SmartTruckRoute relies on the phone (or tablet) to provide an accurate GPS location. It is very important that you synchronize the time on your device with the local phone company. To improve and test position accuracy, see the following suggestions:
1. Be sure the GPS location is turned on and the TIME on your phone is set up for where you are currently located. (The accuracy should be within one minute). Make sure the time is set up by the cell provider automatically for the highest precision. Make sure your Location Services are set to be ON. If Location Services is already ON then toggle it OFF and then ON again. Using the Settings menu of the phone or tablet. select Location Services and make sure that "Stand Alone GPS" service is turned ON.
2. To obtain a faster position fix, go to the Android Settings, under Location and Mode select "High Accuracy".
3. Turn WIFI ON to to enable the initial position to be obtained faster.
4. If you are still not certain that it is your phone that does not provide an accurate position, we recommend that you download the following free app from Google Play: GPS Test This app will clearly allow you to verify the functionality of the GPS on your phone (or tablet).
5. Make sure the icon of GPS on the top of your phone's home page bar is not blinking. A blinking icon indicates that your position is not precise enough to navigate.
6. Under Settings, Location Services, Activate All options to assist GPS in finding your location.
7. Download this app: GPS Status & Toolbox. This app will clearly allow you to verify the functionality of the GPS on your phone (or tablet). You need at least four satellites to be in view for an accurate position.
8. Position your phone close to the windshield of your vehicle for better reception. Please keep in mind that GPS devices operate in "Line of Sight" and that means there should be no obstruction between the back of your phone and the sky. With no obstructions you will see over 6 satellites, but buildings and bad weather might hinder GPS reception. GPS reception depends on the settings of the GPS installed on your phone. Please check the Location settings on your phone. If you're struggling to get your position fixed in a built-up area, try to move your phone closer to the windshield.
9. To improve the quality of GPS reception on some Samsung phones you can tighten the screws on the back inside frame under the back panel.
10. We recommend that it is best to keep your phone charging while navigating. GPS chipset works best when the phone or tablet is being powered.
11. If the number of satellites stays at "0",try toggling the GPS Location setting from ON to OFF and then back to ON.
12. On some tablets and phone disabling Bluetooth helps to improve reception of satellite signals.
Yes, tap and hold for a couple of seconds, an orange arrow and dot will appear at that point and a menu will appear at the bottom of your screen. Select "Route to this location".
Yes. As long as you operate hands free, navigating with smartphone is acceptable. Case of California v. Spriggs, Fresno appellate court per judge Kent Hamlin "The law also does not prohibit hands-free use. A law implemented in January allows hand-free navigating, voice calls and texting, though only if a driver uses voice-operated applications that allow them to navigate, dictate, send, and listen to the device in the car."
Depending upon the preferences you have selected, you may find that when a route changes name or remains the same that the instructions will vary. If you wish to receive detailed isntructions (even if it's a curve in the road or the road changes name slightly), turn this setting "On". The default setting is "Off" which minimizes the number of "Bear Left/Right" and "Continue" statements. Keeping the setting "Off". Using the "On" settings will result in the insertion of "extra" instructions typically when there is a possibility that you may mistakenly get off the route due to the fact that the exit is on an angle such that you might consider the portion as a part of a freeway continuation, or if there is a change in the name of the roadway. To change the setting go to SmartTruckRoute Program Settings > Routing > Simplified Instructions and check to turn ON simplified instructions, or uncheck for more detailed instructions.
The Advanced Mode is used for changing reroute parameters and map animation. Use these settings with caution. To display the Advanced Settings Menu, start the SmartTruckRoute II app, press Menu (three dots on the top right), > Settings > About, tap 10 times on SmartTruckRoute II copyright. Go back to the General menu, tap Advanced Settings which now appears at the bottom of the page.
If your phone does not show POIs in navigation mode please uncheck Smooth Navigation Option.
