    I took chances and subscribed to Smart Truck Route navigation app for $59.99 a year but I dont know if I will renew. You will end up in bushes if you entrust it too much. Like any other truck navigation for that matter. Best to use it with combination of Google maps.
    The Best app in the last year for me was Toll Guru. What a tool! It is still free too. I have to thank @Dune - T for letting know about it.
    Truckers path is a good thing to have to know if the scales are open or not. The CB radio era is dead...

    Google maps, apple maps for finding food sometimes, truckers path, DAT, NASTC, QuickBooks, Tiny Scanner, Files, Street View occasionally, Gmail, Weather Channel, JBHunt360. The rest are web pages on my homepage like Truckers Report, Truckstop.com and etc ! Boom.

    free intel will cost you .0005% of your future business’ profits :) sounds like your working on an app maybe?
