You stated that the problem was the facts that you cannot get the app on your phone. I told you that both links contain an apk that can be directly downloaded to your phone. For literal click by click flow: you open the GitHub link from your phone -> and then on "assets" and then click on the file that says "APK". I didn't think that getting an apk to your phone can be such a headache. I also tried to help by telling you to join the discord where there's also direct links to the same pages, thinking these from the forum don't work. I don't think it's necessarily difficult to install, especially that this is 0.4.4 early version of the app that it's not in the state of going to the play store yet. Thank you for understanding and sorry for making this harder than it should.

Installing it on your phone is very simple and no hassle at all.
Method 1: Right-click on the download page to generate a QRcode. Use your phone's camera to read the QRcode and open the webpage to download it and install it.
Method 2: Convert the .apk link to a short URL, connect directly with the browser on your phone, and download and install it.

Or even easier, that link with 2 button clicks from GitHub I mentioned above.

Thank you for the kind words! fWell it's currently not directly reading the in-game marker locations, but it will automatically place a marker where the destination company is (not source company unfortunately). But I am looking forward to update this as much as I can :)

This seems nice, i tried to install it yesterday. But it looses connection pretty fast I think, at some poiont it will not update that i already chose a different route and it will say that "External something" and i need to set a waypoint (although this is already set in the route ingame), and it simply wont update the telemetry anymore. Othertime it works for a bit longer. Same with PC and Android Phone ! (Would prefer iOS tbo).

Also, Mod maps dont really work with that, which is too bad. I also wish the PC app would have a adaptle screen size, so i can resize the app (if i dont want fullscreen) and it wont just display part of the map. So the whole screen and map adapt to resize of the app on my monitor. Also whats the difference between local and remote gps ? Is there a tutorial of some kind of this on Youtube, that explains everything maybe ? Otherwise very interesting.

Thanks for the feedback, thing is that it doesn't currently read directly the route you set in-game. That External warning it's just a friendly reminder that you have a waypoint in game, but not one on TruckNav. ETS2/ATS don't give an easy way to implement this. If this is the only problem you refer to, it's simply not an implemented feature, you have to set it manually yourself (unless you take a job and it will automatically place a waypoint to the destination company).

As for Map Mods, again, not an implemented feature yet. The version is 0.4.4, so clearly features will be missing. The window of the GPS is fully resizable as seen in the image below:

As for the Remote GPS, I think the name it's quite simple to understand, as well as the window that opens. "Enter the IP shown in TruckNav from your computer". Meaning if you have another PC, or laptop you can use this to connect to it. Local GPS it's only local, meaning you run it on your current PC.

I would appreciate it if you could implement this mode as in-game navigation

Love to hear that you like it, unfortunately this is out of the projects scope. It's not quite possible to integrate my own code into the game's engine

If we could pin the app and adjust it ourselves within the game, is there a way to do that?
