    I agree I would like to it soon I hope it also ties in with traffic, asking if you wish to reroute due to traffic....

    At least an alert traffic on route. If you don’t constantly check you can end up a sitting duck.

    Well if it's giving me traffic ahead for say 60 miles, then I don't need to work about an alert. I glance at it at least every 15-20 mins

    Another suggested feature I would like to see either as an option or permanent. On the main screen, i would rather see where I am rather than see the Odometer of how many miles I have driven. The odometer doesn't really give me any need to know now info, and if I need the miles i can go into a separate screen, but being able to glance at the screen and know what city,or town I am in. That would be much more helpful. In fact i think Smart Truck is the only GPS that doesn't tell you where you are, and isn't that part of a GPS job?

    I’ve been using the iOS version. It’s not bad. It gets glitchy in bigger truck stops and crashes. I feel like the interface could use some more functionality. I get annoyed that I can’t see the time.

    The good is it’s definitely better than my company Qualcomm eobr nav.

    I wish it had the crowd source functionality like waze.

    Currently I run two iPhones. One with smart truck, one with waze and the company crap plus my rand McNally book. If I #### up it’s all on me.
