    I drive a class 8 truck for private/personal use only. I started to download the app as a navigation tool, and it became apparent that it was designed for commercial users (of course). If the developers monitor this thread, is it OK to use it for purely non-commercial use??

    Yes, you are absolutely okay to use Hammer for your Class 8 truck, even for personal use. The app is specifically designed for that equipment type. We just ask those driving non-truck equipment (Recreational Vehicles, Stage Coaches, etc) use a more suited navigation app.

    Thank you much - I have a Volvo VNL-860 and look forward to trying it out. I just took a trip using Waze and ended up on a very narrow bridge wishing I had something better.

    Can Hammer and Waze be added to a Garmin Dezl as a side app?

    Hello, Hammer does not have integration capabilities for Garmin devices.
