FAQ

Common
questions.

What makes HGV Nav different from a regular sat nav app?

HGV Nav routes specifically for your vehicle's physical dimensions: height clearances, gross vehicle weight, axle limits, width, length, and hazardous cargo classification. Your profile is applied to every route calculation, combined with 30+ intelligence layers for live restrictions, congestion delays, access zones, and driver community reports.

How does live traffic detection work?

HGV Nav continuously monitors live road congestion, incidents, roadworks, and closures along your active route. Delay times are calculated dynamically against free-flow speeds so you always know your true arrival time and can avoid bottlenecks before you reach them.

Which languages are available?

English, Polish, Romanian, Urdu, Punjabi, French, Spanish, and German. Switch languages from the main screen.

Can I save routes and favourite destinations?

Yes. Recent destinations, saved places, and favourites are available from the route planner, with a dedicated history screen for completed routes.

Does HGV Nav work offline?

Yes. The app saves your active route, stops, journey summary, and turn instructions on the device, so the current job remains visible if signal drops. Mapbox regions can be downloaded in advance to keep the map rendering offline. Fresh route calculation, live data, and new alerts still require internet; an offline reroute request is queued until data returns.

What does the 3-day free trial include?

Full access to every feature — precision truck routing, all 30+ intelligence layers, offline maps, Yard Intel, driving-ban alerts, voice commands, multi-stop routing, walkaround checks, and route history. The trial is managed through your platform's app store.

Can HGV Nav route STGO abnormal and oversized loads?

Yes. HGV Nav supports STGO Category 1 (60 mph), Category 2 (40 mph), and Category 3 (30 mph) abnormal load routing. Legal speed limits are applied automatically and routes account for the oversized dimensions in your vehicle profile.

What countries does HGV Nav cover?

HGV Nav works worldwide. Driving ban alerts cover 19 European countries. Clean Air Zone alerts cover UK CAZs plus 11 EU LEZ/ZFE zones including Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Amsterdam, and Milan. Live diesel prices work in the UK, US, and 19 European countries. Vehicle presets automatically apply the correct legal limits for UK, EU, USA, Canada, or Australia. Commercial routing covers the full global road network.

What are the EU HGV driving ban alerts?

Most European countries restrict HGV movement on Sundays, public holidays, and sometimes Saturday afternoons. HGV Nav monitors bans in real time across 19 countries — including Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Czech Republic, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, and more. The alert turns red when a ban is active, orange when one starts within 2 hours, and is route-aware so it only flags the countries you are actually driving through.

What is Yard Intel?

Yard Intel is a crowd-sourced delivery-yard guide. Drivers share the correct HGV entrance, common mistakes, average wait, reversing difficulty, comments, and photos. Nearby reports appear as route pins, and stale information can be flagged for review.

How much does HGV Nav cost?

£3.99/month. Full access to all features. Starts with a 3-day free trial, managed through the App Store or Google Play, and can be cancelled any time.

Does HGV Nav support Apple CarPlay?

Yes. Connect your iPhone and HGV Nav runs on your car screen — turn-by-turn instructions, speed overlay, and voice guidance through the cab speakers. Truck-safe routing with your full vehicle profile still applied. Requires an Apple CarPlay compatible head unit.
