TruckNav v0.4.4 - External Second-Screen GPS [ETS2 & ATS] [1.59 SUPPORT!]

[moon738]

Hi Byatis,

First of all, thank you so much for this massive update! I've been using the new version, and the routing is significantly more accurate now. The turn-by-turn navigation is a game-changer—thank you for taking the suggestions into account. The Korean community is also reacting very positively to this update. It was definitely worth the wait!

After testing it for a while, I’d like to report a few bugs and share some suggestions for further improvement:

1. Text Visibility Issue on Tablets:
The turn-by-turn text appears clearly in white on my phone (Galaxy S26 Ultra), but on my tablet, the text appears dark, making it very difficult to read. It seems like there might be a display bug or a theme scaling issue on tablet devices.

2. Vehicle Icon Size:
I’d love to see an option to increase the size of the vehicle icon. It would help with visibility, especially when using the app as a dedicated dashboard.

3. Breadcrumbs (Past Routes):
Currently, the path I’ve already driven remains on the map. It would be much cleaner if the "passed" portion of the route was automatically cleared or hidden as I drive.

4. Dynamic Auto-Zoom:
It would be fantastic if the map supported dynamic zooming based on vehicle speed—zooming in at low speeds/intersections for detail and zooming out at high speeds for a better overview of the road ahead.

Thank you again for your incredible work on this project. This is truly an amazing tool for the community!

Best regards,

[Byatis]

Thank you very much for reporting the bugs and also for the suggestions, I will definately keep those in mind for the next update. For now, i will take a break from the app as I have a lot of exams on the way but they are noted somewhere for the future . I just fixed the bug on light mode devices where the font was dark as well. You can check out 0.4.1 where this bug is fixed along with another fix to enable TruckNav through firewall properly.

Hey Byatis, congrats again on the release

I was browsing your repo and saw a script that mentions:

Code: Select all

     npx ts-node app/scripts/packer.ts ./public/geojson/brain.geojson ./public/geojson/prefabs.geojson ./public/roadnetwork

But unless I'm missing something: I don't see those geojson files in the repo, or code to generate those geojson files.

I'm very curious to learn how those geojson files were generated, and how you determined the values of the properties for the different Features. Any plans on releasing that info? Fellow trucksim cartographers want to know

[Byatis]

I will surely release them later on. Currently it's a total mess by trying different stuff and to get it to work. Which is why I haven't made it to public yet . After I clean it up, I will create another repo with the scripts I used to generate these.

Lol, I very much sympathize and know how that goes

Very cool, thanks for the reply! I'll keep in eye out for those repoes

Haha! I will make sure to give you a reminder when this happens

hello looks good, would this be good to use with combo maps?

Not sure if I know what's that, but if you are reffering to map mods, only the base games work.

Ets2 and Ats base games work only with all DLCs. Map mods will be coming in the future
