On the Road

Route planning that knows your truck, break planning that knows the rules, and a drive screen built for a cab.

Route planner

Distance, drive time and the cheapest fuel on the way, plus what the trip will cost from your fuel economy, with fuel and tolls at heavy vehicle or car rates. Give it your tank size and it tells you where to fill so you never run dry, at the cheapest stop.

Save and star routes, export a run sheet as CSV, share a route or start navigation from it.

Plan a route

Low bridges and weight limits

Enter your truck's height, weight and length once (they are kept on your device) and the route avoids low bridges and weight limits where OpenStreetMap records them.

Is the cheaper stop worth it

In drive mode, compare the next stop with the cheapest price up to 150 km ahead and within 1 km of your route, for your planned fill and fuel economy. It counts fuel only, not time or tolls, and says so.

Break planner

Tell it when work started and it counts down to your next required break, turning red in the last 45 minutes, and lists heavy vehicle rest areas you can reach in time. It follows the national rules, WA's rules or the NT's, including two-up driving. It is guidance only.

Drive mode

Voice navigation with the next cheap servo, rest area and hazard on your road, sized for a phone in a cradle or a tablet on the dash.

Start driving

Road reports

Report a crash, police, a hazard, roadworks, an animal, a speed camera, heavy traffic or a pothole. A report made with no signal sends when you are back in range. Other drivers mark it still there or gone, and two gone votes retire it.

Anyone can see reports; making one or voting needs a free account.

Hazards and closures

Incidents, floods, fires, roadworks and closures from the road authorities in every state and territory, and New Zealand.

Crash black spots and safety cameras

Australia's worst crash locations and the conditions behind fatal crashes, from state road authority open data. Safety cameras are a map layer you turn on when you want it.

Trip review

After a trip, compare the distance and time you planned with what you drove, on a sketch of both routes. It is kept on your device, and it is a rough record from GPS, not a tax logbook.

Live location sharing

Share your live location for 30 minutes up to 8 hours. It stops when you arrive or when the time is up, and the person you send it to needs no account to watch. Starting a share needs a free account.

Where you parked

Drop a parked here pin, set a parking limit from 15 minutes to 4 hours and watch the countdown, then walk back to your car. It stays on your device.

Offline maps for no signal

Save the stretch of road you are about to drive before you lose signal. It shows the size before you save, and you can delete saved regions any time.

Work and rest hours

Work and rest limits for Australian heavy vehicle drivers, by jurisdiction: standard hours, WA's separate limits, and why the NT prescribes none.
