TomTom’s GO Navigation app introduces truck navigation
08 Septiembre 2022 - 12:30AM
TomTom (TOM2), the mapmaker and geolocation specialist, has
introduced GO Navigation’s truck plan – an offer designed to meet
the needs of professional truck drivers. In addition to GO
Navigation’s premium navigation capabilities, this enables drivers
to plan routes that account for their vehicle’s dimensions, fuel
requirements, desired maximum speeds and cargo (such as dangerous
goods).
Drivers will also be able to plan multiple
drop-offs and gain access to an overview of upcoming points of
interest (POIs) – such as fuel stations suitable for their vehicle
and truck stops. These truck- specific additions work in
conjunction with the app’s existing navigation features, including
intuitive lane guidance, live traffic and the Route Bar – a
convenient snapshot of the route, stops, relevant alerts and
restrictions ahead.
“Truck navigation on mobile is a game changer.
The new plan is a result of TomTom’s long-standing relationship
with professional drivers. After years of experience with
truck-specific sat navs, we understand this industry’s biggest
pain-points, so we were able to develop a solution that fills the
gap left by the generic navigation offerings found in other apps,”
says Pim Spaanderman, Managing Director, TomTom
Consumer.
Punctuality is critical in the trucking
industry, which makes accurate ETAs incredibly useful. TomTom’s
ETAs aren’t only among the most accurate in the world – they adjust
according to real-time traffic data, giving drivers a realistic
snapshot of their schedule. The TomTom GO Navigation’s truck plan
user interface (UI) is designed to minimize distractions and keep
attention on the road – something that’s especially important for
anyone operating heavy vehicles over long, fatiguing distances. And
with Android Auto™ compatibility, drivers also have the option to
sync their route with their in-dash screen.
By accounting for factors like vehicle size and
cargo type, this plan helps professional drivers stay up to speed
with ever-changing road regulations – such as avoiding prohibited
routes and complying with UN Class restrictions. And with further
updates in the pipeline, it will soon account for measures like low
emission zones.
“As a third-generation truck driver, I can say
with some confidence that this addition couldn’t come sooner.
Having TomTom’s large-vehicle navigation features right there on an
app is a big win for the trucking community,” says Luke Cuss, one
of TomTom’s trucking ambassadors.
“The job gets challenging at times, sure, and
changing traffic conditions and regulations can be hard to keep up
with – but this plan will help us stay on top of all that, meaning
we can focus on the road ahead, enjoy the ride and stay on
schedule.” GO Navigation’s truck plan is available
now for Android users on the Google Play Store. To mark the launch,
TomTom is offering 50% off to those who subscribe for the plan over
the next two weeks. Additional
