Sygic Truck & Caravan review

Sygic Truck & Caravan suits drivers whose work crosses regions, including Europe, where emission zones and tunnel rules matter as much as bridge heights. The app lets you set length, height, weight, width, number of axles and Hazmat level, save up to seven custom vehicle profiles, and choose metric, imperial or US units. Maps are stored offline with truck attributes, and the vendor updates them several times a year. Newer settings for emission standard and vehicle year help avoid charged or restricted emission zones. Dispatchers can use Sygic Truck Route Sender, a free browser extension, to plan a route in Google Maps and send it to the driver. Speed limit warnings and a database of over 60,000 fixed speed cameras round it out. We could not verify a USD price on Sygic's site from our location, so check the app store before buying.
