I have a small netbook with streets & trips (just upgraded to 2013) with gps. That I use in conjunction with rand McNally map, and my own experience.
It's not truck specific,
I also use a plug in for streets, truckstops plus. Downloaded at www.truckstopsplus.com
30 bucks I think. Adds all the truckstops, scales, truck washes etc. As well as low bridges to streets & trips.
Best Android Apps?

Not a app so much.
I have a galaxy note 2 (she says her name is "Galaxy, like the starry night").
Anyhow the Galaxy note 2 has what's called S Voice. It takes voice commands.
I just bought a Platronics Voyager blue tooth device. Not a over the head headset, but over the ear type.
With a press of button on earpiece it activates S Voice.
Hands free, I can tell her to make calls.
Answering just by saying answer or ignore.
Can send texts hands free just by speaking.
Now that can be tricky, sometimes she doesn't always interpret well.
She'll even tell jokes.fr8te_sh8ker Thanks this. -
I also use Astroplayer.
I use it specifically for listening to audio books.
It has the ability to let me bookmark multiple books.
I usually have 2 or 3 books that'll I bounce around "reading" as mood fits me.fr8te_sh8ker Thanks this. -

droidtruckerstop. shows dot scales and major truckstops.
copilot truck. on my android tablet. phone also.
gps tools. it has a compass and other things. kinda cool to watch. also on my tablet.
