I just mount my Verizon Tablet to my dash and use Google maps.

I run Co-pilot on my Verizon tablet on the dash... Can't complain to much about it, it's traffic is pretty accurate.
Farmerbob1 Thanks this. -
What I'm hoping to find is an app or device for truck routing that tethers or otherwise accesses the internet, and uses that connection to send the movement data of everyone with the device to a central location, and then tracks that data.
If Google would do this, it would be even better. As it is, Google frequently gets stupid about roads which are closed.
What I described could also detect deviations from a chosen path, and that could flag a closed road or detour.G13Tomcat Thanks this. -
Again, in the start up screen you will notice that Inrix is the source for Traffic. This is shown in the preferences/General/Contact & About.G13Tomcat Thanks this. -

I have a Dezl as well. It constantly updates traffic and asks if i wat to be re-routed. Granted, I've been using it in my pickup, however, I run it in truck mode not car. Very happy with it.
I start driving my own rig next week. The Dezl should be a great tool. I may run google maps on my tablet out of curiosity. Will report back.Farmerbob1 and G13Tomcat Thank this.
