- Recent updates focused on navigation panel logic and GPS recovery, but lack of community-driven data leaves the app behind competitors.
The SWOT
- 40-year legacy in commercial vehicle routing
- Proprietary IFTA mileage logging for tax compliance
- Integration with vehicle dashboard projection systems
- Expansion into electric commercial vehicle charging infrastructure
