Truck-specific GPS systems provide accurate navigation and the extra functionality required to reach your destination. When you’re out of mobile phone range and driving a tractor-trailer, these additional features and information can be the difference between arriving at your destination on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let us learn more about GPS systems and lead you to a comprehensive guide to selecting a truck GPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_GPS_navigation_work_What_is_it\"><\/span><a><\/a>How does GPS navigation work? What is it?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Global Positioning Technology (GPS) system is used by GPS navigation devices to triangulate a device’s location using signals that are reflected from a network of 24 geosynchronous satellites. The GPS system displays speed and direction in addition to the location because it can determine the spot in real-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This determines the shortest route from your present location when you enter a destination, taking into account various aspects like traffic information, construction, and road closures. When turns are missed or new data is discovered, the GPS navigation system frequently updates the path (e.g., unexpected traffic).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_a_GPS_navigation_system_designed_specifically_for_trucks_different\"><\/span><a><\/a>How is a GPS navigation system designed specifically for trucks different?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A truck-specific GPS navigation system offers far more functionality than a GPS navigation system for personal use. Your truck’s dimensions (height, weight, etc.) are frequently entered into the GPS navigation system. Then, a database of truck-related road statistics, including bridge heights and weight restrictions, is compared to this information. We will only take routes that don’t pose difficulties for your truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Truck-specific GPS navigation systems frequently make information on truck parking and rest stops readily available, making it easier to plan compliant routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Special_Routes_for_Trucking\"><\/span><a><\/a>Special Routes for Trucking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may select a GPS device with maps showing only trucking routes. A car-based GPS system may lead you astray at some point, either by leading you to a bridge that cannot support your weight or by leaving you stranded in a private cul-de-sac. If your GPS system supports trucking maps, as many GPS devices do, you can use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sufficient_for_Trucks\"><\/span><a><\/a>Sufficient for Trucks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A trucker’s GPS must be challenging because it is typically used much more frequently than a GPS for personal use. It must be able to run continuously for several hours, recharge fast, and resist a harsh cab environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that you may locate a new trucker GPS system that works well with your truck and doesn’t require you to worry about low bridges or residential routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lastly_Verify_that_the_Maps_in_the_Truck_Navigation_App_are_Current\"><\/span><a><\/a>Lastly, Verify that the Maps in the Truck Navigation App are Current.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Planning truck routes and effectively traversing those routes depend on having up-to-date and accurate truck maps. Therefore, while utilizing outdated maps, your truckers will receive the wrong driving instructions and run the danger of receiving costly fines and jeopardizing their safety. The finest truck navigation app should therefore feature maps constantly updated with information on road closures, road works, changes to the road infrastructure, etc. Try downloading route planning apps from Route4Me to get a free trial of the best truck route GPS tool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why?
