SmartTruckRoute Truck Routing App Now Available for iPhone, iPad, Android

Boston, MA, February 22, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Recognizing the specialized navigation needs of truck drivers, TeleType pioneered the use of portable GPS for truck navigation beginning in 2008. The company also offered the first cloud based truck routing app for the Android operating system and has now released the SmartTruckRoute app for iPhone and iPad. The SmartTruckRoute app connects to in-house truck routing servers located in Boston, Massachusetts to allow commercial drivers to use the built-in GPS of the phone or tablet to create truck specific routes with the added benefits of live map updates. The software takes into account commercial truck restrictions as well as the vehicle height and weight. SmartTruckRoute helps drivers avoid costly tickets and provides additional safety. Turn by turn visual and voice instructions allow the driver to use the handset hands free when navigating.

According to Marleen Winer, Vice-President, TeleType, “Drivers have indicated their preference for using their phones and tablets as primary tools of the trade and appreciate the cloud based efficiency for providing a convenient, cost effective way to obtain instant truck specific routes for navigation.”
