That means this is your last chance to grab your Founder badge! These limited-edition badges won't be available after the public release, so make sure to grab yours before launch!
This is a big update. A lot of the features here come straight from your feedback, and I'm really excited to hear what you think. Let's get into it!

Let's dig into the new stuff!
🔍 Quick Search
Probably the star of this release. Hit the new search button on the map, pick a category (gas stations, rest areas, services, or garages), and a browser opens up where you can flip through results with next/previous buttons. The system picks nearby points that are easy to access from your current planned route. All matches show up on the map and you can place a waypoint on whichever one you prefer.
🎥 Dynamic Camera Zoom
This one was highly requested. The camera now automatically zooms in when you're near turns or driving slowly, and zooms out when you're cruising at high speed. It makes the whole navigation experience feel way more natural and responsive. If you prefer the old manual zoom buttons, you can switch back in Settings.
⏱️ ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival)
You now get ETA calculations for your route! And yes, this includes real-time ETA, not just game time. Also, the accuracy of the distance calculations has been improved considerable, which should contribute to providing pretty accurate ETA values. You can configure in Settings whether you want to see real-time only, simulator time only, or both.
🌎 City Name Translations
Previously all cities showed in their native language. Now they default to English, and you can pick from several languages in Settings: Native, English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Italian, Russian, and Greek.
📍 Improved Waypoint Popups
Waypoint popups got an overhaul. They're larger and easier to tap (this was a problem on some devices where the buttons felt too small). They now also show distance and ETA for placed waypoints, or estimated distance for new waypoints.
Current Gear Widget ⚙️
A new widget on the map shows your current gear. You can turn it off In Settings, or can pick between different display modes: Sequential (1, 2, 3...), Splitter (1L, 1H, 2L, 2H...) or Crawler (C1, C2, L1, L2...), depending on how your in-game transmission is set up.
New Settings Options
The "More Settings" menu now has the following new options to configure these new features to your liking:
City Names: Pick Native or a specific language for city names
ETA Display: Show real-time ETA, simulator time, or both
Driving Zoom: Dynamic (new!) or Manual (classic zoom buttons)
Gear Indicator: Pick the display format that matches your transmission setup, or turn off
Defaults button: Reset all settings to default with one tap
Mods Updated
ETS2 Promods The Great Steppe 1.5.0 → 1.6.0

A note on feedback
Many of these new features (like the dynamic camera zoom and quick search) are their first iteration and may feel a bit rough around the edges. I really want to hear your thoughts! What did you like? What felt off? What would you change? Drop your feedback in the comments or on Discord, it helps a ton.
What's next
If nothing goes wrong, we'll have the public v1.0.0 version by the end of this month. It will be available on Google Play and the App Store for everyone, with a free version that includes limited features so anyone can try TruckSim GPS without a subscription.
It's been a long road to get here and honestly, this app exists because you all believed in it early on. Without the support from this community I would've had to get a real job by now 😄
More details soon.
Thanks for sticking around, and happy trucking! 🚛
- Nico

hii love your app and everything weve been waiting for this for over 5 years. The nav moves so smooth than the sim dashboard one. I cant wait for the public release!!
hi can i have this for free
Hey! The free version is releasing in the next few days, stay tuned!
Hey got an estimate of the public publish since this week is over now? (Just friendly question)
Hello! The app is currently being reviewed by Google/Apple, since this is the a public release their review process is a bit more extensive than usual. My guess is that we should be live by early next week.
If i have another telemetry.dll for other things i need. Can i place this one to it aswell? Like have those 2 dlls at sam spot without them fighting?
Hello! It shouldn't be an issue since it uses a different name and different port than other telemetry plugins. You can try to download the Telemetry Server and try if it's working here: https://trucksimgps.com/server
Ive nooned today amd installed the server i cant find how to get the app
Hello! I need some info to give you access to the app, please check your Direct Messages
Animado pra versão gratuita. Será que sai nesse final de semana na Play Store? Vamos ver. Ah, e vocês atualizaram o mapa EAA pra 1.58 v2 no app?
Olá! O aplicativo está sendo analisado pelo Google/Apple e, como esta é uma versão pública, o processo de análise deles é um pouco mais extenso do que o normal. Acredito que estará disponível no início da próxima semana. O mapa EAA dentro do aplicativo ainda está na versão 1.58 v1. Retomaremos as atualizações do mapa assim que a versão pública estiver pronta. Obrigado!
Vocês vão lançar o app na play store ainda essa semana?
Sim! :)
If i leave a email from my Google play will u give me access?
Hello, until the app is released, access is only being granted to subscribe members on the Early Tester tier. The public version of the app is about to be released in the next few days though.
Oi qual dia vocês vão postar o App truck sim para Google play para público só uma pergunta
Olá! Isso dependerá do processo de aprovação das lojas de aplicativos, mas faremos todo o possível para lançá-lo esta semana.
When is the app coming out and will it be the first week
Hello! It will depend on the app stores approval process, but we'll do everything possible to have it released this week
Hello, how I can get mobile apk ?
Hey, the app is not publicly released yet, it's currently on Early Access for Patreon backers only, consider joining as an Early Tester here: https://www.patreon.com/trucksimgps/membership That said, the public release is scheduled for next week, so stay tuned!
Hey, uh where is the app from? I'm from Italy and it gives me "are you searching for this app? It's not available" and I want to use a VPN to Download it

When will be the full release for ios can,t wait
Hey! If all goes good by the end of next week!
When public version dropping!! (So hyped for this)
Hey, if all goes well should be ready by the end of next week! Thanks :D
Will this be compatible with TruckersMP in the future?
Hello, it's compatible with the TruckersMP map, but you can't see other trucks in your GPS. Multiplayer features are planned to be worked on during this year
hello. So, will the app be released as promised on Google Play and in the App Store by the last day of this month? next week, ends March
Yes correct! By the end of next week at most
Very great job Thank you Nico
How do I get the app I have upgraded my membership
Hello! Please check your Patreon DMs for access details
When you switch to the full version on iOS will we need to download that vs test? And along those same lines, will we move our subscriptions over there? (Obviously if we want to continue donating that’s great, but I suspect the actual subscription will now be on the App Store side?)
Hey, that's correct, you'll need to delete the Testflight version and download it from the App Store. You will be able to purchase a subscription via the app, or stay subscribed via Patreon. If you log in with your Patreon account you'll have everything unlocked as usual.
It’s really good! The only thing I noticed is that the gears go up to 9h. I think it would be more realistic if the first gear was “low” instead of 1L and 1h, it would be LL and LH
Hey, you can enable crawler gears in Settings, they will show up as C1 and C2 instead of LL and LH, I'll introduce these in the next update
He's doing an incredible job. May the Lord continue to bless him and give him good health so he can keep doing this amazing work. Blessings.
Thank you so much 🙏
If somebody was an early backer for a couple of months but it's not now, are they still eligible for the badge?
Yes, anyone who participated in the Early Testing program will get a founder badge :)
How do I get my founder edition badge I've been with you since day one
Hey! You should already have it, make sure to update the app and check your account in settings :)
Thanks for all your hard work. Have you decided on the pricing model for the final version? Will it be a one time payment or a monthly fee?
Hello! Full app access will require a subscription, the pricing will be more affordable and we'll also have extra discount for yearly subscription. The free version will let you try the app and the routing system with daily limits and some features blocked
Future^^**
Is coming out on 31 of much
It's what I use everyday on the road
Just ran it it's a lot better guys beautiful coming along in the feature I would like to see like a picture pop up to like a exit on which one you have to take maybe one of guys could check out truck gps and get more ideas
Hey, lane guidance has been requested and it's on the roadmap, thanks :)
Many people who watch the video ask: How do you drive a truck without GPS? How do you know the way? 😁😂🚚🚚 I point them to the link!
Thank you! :D
I really liked it, the auto-scaling, the camera automatically changes the zoom, it works like a real GPS device, and now there's no need to zoom in manually !!!! I want to ask, what will be the limitations of the app for those who don't have a subscription, and what are the differences in terms of features? I'm advertising your product in my videos, as I mentioned earlier, and now I'm adding a logo to the animation in the video. Here's an example time 0:13 in the upper left corner!:https://youtu.be/b7Qy1j4RQuU?si=Q1gvfxRVc8Gv6kKi
