There are nearly 30,000 trucking related locations and 270,000 truck parking spots on the Trucker Path app. It may seem like a lot but new locations for truckers are built and smaller, lesser-known locations like family-run truck stops may slip through the cracks. No matter the size of the location it has a place in our database for truck drivers to access reliable information about.
If for some reason a location does not appear on Trucker Path there’s a simple way to add a place!
Steps:
1. Open the Trucker Path app
2. Click the menu tab at the top left of the map screen

3. Click Add Places on the lower left side

4. Choose the email provider you wish to use to send a message

5. Fill out the Name, Location and Details about the new place and send the message

Your message will be sent directly to our support team who will be happy to help facilitate the addition of the new place. (Updates to locations typically take 24-48 hours to appear on the app)




Trucker Path App Update Version 4.1.4: Improved GPS and Navigation <h2></h2>
<h3></h3>
Good morning Trucker Path users!
<h2></h2>
<a href="https://truckerpath.com/uploads/2020/07/up2.jpeg"><img src="https://truckerpath.com/uploads/2020/07/up2-300x300.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-5133" /></a>
<h2></h2>
We’re excited to rollout the latest version 4.1.4 of Trucker Path in the App Stores (<a href="http://bit.ly/truckerpathdroid">Play Store</a> and <a href="http://bit.ly/truckerpathios">Apple</a>). We’ve focused our attention on the GPS/navigation aspect.
<h2></h2>
<strong>1. Place of Interest Search Ability</strong>
<h2></h2>
We've added the ability to search for a place-of-interest along your trip, and avoid going out of route when finding stops/rest areas.
<a href="https://truckerpath.com/uploads/2020/07/up4.jpeg"><img src="https://truckerpath.com/uploads/2020/07/up4-300x300.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-5135" /></a>
<h2></h2>
<strong>2. Added Information on Places-of-Interest during Navigation</strong>
<h2></h2>
During navigation, you can check detailed information on places-of-interest, and route to them. Previously you were only able to see the card-style preview of places.
<h2></h2>
<h2></h2>
<strong>3. Improved “Last Mile” Destination Accuracy.</strong>
<h2></h2>
Sometimes the geolocation of the destination waypoint is marked at the center of a place. There have been issues where the routing will take you on a loop/veer off track. We’ve updated the algorithm so it will route you to the primary entrance for trucks, for improved accuracy.

Navigation screen will show truck restricted roads

<h2></h2>
<strong>5. Remove Stopovers</strong>
<h2></h2>
Added the ability to easily remove stopovers during an active trip
