Trucker path, no need for dealer, truckstop, parking, rest stop, scale, low bridge, weight stations, traffic, Walmart, too much to list separate apps. 90%of what you need are in that app and they are constantly improving it. The developers actually respond to feature requests and questions. Nearly everything that is in it can be clicked to learn details and read actual truck driver reviews.

Supplement TP with Road breakers, you will always be able to find safe , reviewed parking.

Google maps for zooming in on the destination to get an idea of what you are getting into.

Radar Now, make it a mandatory part if your pretrip, might save hours of hassle just be routing around the worst part of storms. It also has accurate, immediate really severe warnings for the actual area you are in at the moment if you have location services turned on, might save your life.

Chrome for easy access to porn.

 

That app for finding friends is ridiculous. If he or she is 30 miles away on another highway one of you is going to travel a long distance. Besides how often do you have time for visiting. If you are on ELD your company will know what you are doing.

 

Waze and this new one called my one20.

 

Not everyone works for a hand holding mega.

 

I have been evaluating one20 for a couple days. Do you know how to keep the app from timing out and letting the screen go dark? I never think about it until im driving and unable to tinker with it

 

Hadnt used it enough. But that sounds like a phone thing. Have you tried going into display settings and switching to screen always on? Or maybe setting it to always on while plugged in. I never had it switched off while using it.

 

Lots of gps apps for tracing your route and sharing your location or route with another driver

 

I was thinking phone setting at first but Waze and Google Maps stay lit while they run, and one20 times out

 

One20 support says truck navigation is not supposed to time out but it does. I changed the phone setting to always lit and it solved my problem. I have to remember to manually switch the phone off now but that's not the end of the world
