Introduction
TruckNav is a FREE and open-source, low-latency second-screen GPS companion for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. I built this to allow for full immersion by turning off the in-game HUD and using a real-world style navigation unit on a phone, tablet, or secondary monitor.

Core Features

• Real-Time Navigation: Live GPS tracking powered by in-game telemetry.
• Second-Screen Experience: Use your phone, tablet, or browser as a dedicated GPS unit.
• Turn-by-Turn Guidance: Clear routing instructions designed for immersive driving without the in-game HUD.
• Custom Routing Engine: Built from game data to generate accurate and realistic routes.
• Cross-Platform Support: Available as desktop (.exe), mobile (.apk), and web app.
• Telemetry Integration: Direct communication with the game for position, speed, and heading.
• Mod-Aware Navigation: Designed to support Real Company Names by @MLH82 mod.

Key Features in v0.4.4

• ETS2 v1.59 Compatibility: Fully updated the navigation engine and map data to support the latest Euro Truck Simulator 2 version, including the Benelux Rework.
• Windows System Integration: Added the ability to launch the app automatically on startup and run minimized in the system tray for a seamless background experience.
• Instance & Resource Management: Implemented a single-instance lock to prevent multiple windows from opening and optimized the installation logic for better desktop reliability.
• Global Localization: Introduced a brand-new localization framework featuring full German (Deutsch) support, with more languages currently in development.
• UI Readability Fix: Resolved a text color mismatch issue that caused visibility problems for users running the app in Light Mode.

Thanks for your efforts to create this!

[Alexander Schulze]

Hello Byatis, first of all, I'd like to thank you for this project. I found it today and I'm amazed at how well it already works. I'm using it with a very inexpensive tablet, and the app works very well, which I hadn't expected. Since I'm currently building a dashboard for ETS 2 and ATS, this project comes at just the right time. I would be happy to volunteer as a tester and support you in this endeavor. My name is Alexander, I am 44 years old and from Germany, which is why my English isn't very good; I use a translator. I would be pleased to hear from you and to collaborate.

amazing been waiting for this but i cant get to work not route map good dont work with promods

[Byatis]

@chaser2022 it's stated in github that it's not supporting promods. As for the problem you are facing regarding the route, I'm not sure I understood what exactly your problem is.

Nice work, will you also do it for iOS?
