Hammer: Truck GPS & Maps for Positive User Reviews
✓ Love this map appAs a trucker it’s convenient accurate and most reliable during tough times. I drive local but do regional on occasion so I don’t have much use for a trucker GPS device, this however is the perfect substitute. I have other trucker maps that aren’t as up to date with the maps while this one is and it provides the most quick route option for me. With turn by turn directions so I I’m not guessing which turn to take makes me feel confident driving..Version: 1.18.5
✓ ExcellentI’m happy.Version: 1.21.18
✓ It’s a wonderful GPSI like this app a lot. I wanted to get something to compare routes with my old Rand Mcnally because it’s not the most reliable. This app tells me whether or not my other GPS is trying to take me off the highway unnecessarily. The interface is easy to use, and I really appreciate it being completely free. If I had to say, this GPS has about 90% accuracy. I don’t recommend this being your only truck navigation. But between this, google maps, my Rand Mcnally, and my 3 years trucking experience and knowing which roads are safe to go down, it’s very useful. Wouldn’t recommend for beginners to solely use this. But I really do appreciate the free tool that’s generally safe to rely on. Thank you so much!.Version: 1.18.5
✓ GoodGood.Version: 1.21.18
✓ The best tracking app I have found but could still use a few tweaksThis is a very good trucking app it is pretty good and the routing I have only had a couple problems with that one is that it doesn’t let me set the speed that I can travel at which is 5 miles under the speed limit and the second one which really matters to me is that I can’t talk and hear directions at the same time if I’m on the phone call I can’t hear the directions other than that it’s a good app and like I said it’s the best one I found so far.Version: 1.19.1
✓ BB grewal.Version: 1.21.18
✓ Trying to figure a route outNeeding to get from our race teams shop in hamden ct to lime Rick park race track this app gives me two routes we can take . A green route and a blue route to pick from . The bargaining part of the blue route is faster but half way there the green route is faster . I can’t seam to just combine making my own route out of both . So it looks like half way there I will have to stop and then change the route from one to the other? It gives me a two hour and a two is hour drive time depending on what route I pick but having been going to lime rock countless times every year for 30 years I can make the drive combining both routes in 1.5 hours . If I don’t stop and change the routing half way thru our trip it’s not just going to take an extra half hour but it’s also going to put me on when we call misery hill ! It’s a very steep grade two mile long down hill going and a two mile up hill on the way back . This app needs to have it so you can aliterate the routes and combine two or more to your own route you know is faster and better ..Version: 1.18.5
✓ Good backup or main gpsI was using hammer for a while and it never steered me wrong. Compared it with a garmin and was excellent..Version: 1.21.18
✓ Great free app..... THAT WORKS RELIABLYStumbled across this app and found it to be a solid, well designed and functional item. I usually use Google maps and recently purchased a Garmin truck GPS.... However if you're without an aftermarket truck GPS or aren't using GPS 14 hours a day daily, this IS the BEST substitute going. Set truck, trailer length and weight as well as number of trailers and freight / hazmat, height permits etc etc. Satellite view, optional 3d and live traffic... It's an excellent back up and calculates sensible safe routes 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸.Version: 1.17.3
✓ Very perfect for truckersVery nice.Version: 1.21.18
✓ Good mapVery helpful.Version: 1.21.18
✓ Please Add Governed Truck ETAsPlease please please add a feature that enables users to calculate ETAs based on the top speed of their truck as opposed to just using the posted speed limit. My company governs their trucks to 65 mph and on many interstates, especially south of the mason dixon line, I am not even able to travel at the legal limit. This gives distorted ETAs when using the Hammer app, especially on longer trips. Thank you for providing such a useful tool for truckers everywhere and keep up the good work!.Version: 1.21.18
✓ The best map appHello and thanks to the creator of this best map app, Just if you can consider please to add buses to the app that would be the one and only app driver out there will be using, I’m a bus driver and I have been talking with most of bus driver and we’re all looking for an app we can use and we do use this app but not that much and most of us buy’s GPS Grumman and we had to because there are no other options so if you add it that would be great so we could have options and bus drivers can enjoy this best app as truck drivers I’m sure they enjoy it, thanks..Version: 1.21.18
✓ GoodExcellent.Version: 1.21.18
✓ O/OVery fine I trust Hammer.Version: 1.21.18
✓ Very Good Free Truck AppI usually use this app when I rent a U Haul truck and its done a pretty good job guiding me and keeping me on the roads and highway I’m allowed on. If you’re using this app for U Hauls too (15 foot or less), I would recommend using another GPS , one that you would normally use for regular cars/vehicles, along with this app because sometimes this app will make you take really slow or long lasting routes because I think it calculates the trip as if you’re one of those big trucks, which have more limitations on the roads/streets than the U Hauls. I would follow the regular GPS as long as it keeps me off parkways, and of course just be mindful of the height of your truck incase theres a street that has an overpass or something. Usually what will happen is after following the regular GPS, this truck app will recalculate the route and start giving almost the same directions as the regular one, give or take if it says to take a parkway, then you’ll need to alternate between apps and make sure you take the correct road or highway..Version: 1.20.0
✓ Help fullVery helpful when have no garmin map.Version: 1.21.18
✓ Great but always can be improved…I love the app. I would like to see some updates to make it even more better. Lane positioning would be excellent so truckers can know what lane they would have to be in before approaching their exits. Also, being able to enter GPS coordinates (latitude & longitude) in case the location does not have an address for delivery. Many buildings and homes are being put up, but latitude & longitude never changes. I love using the app for work, and it has helped me be a better driver..Version: 1.20.4
✓ GoodExcellent working.Version: 1.21.18
✓ Truck driverThis is the only app in the market that is accurate it has lots of features that a truck driver needs to be safe and not to get lost where most app will do key factor is the hub right where you can see it and weather report I can’t say enough about this app it’s totally amazing I know I be only had it about two weeks now and I have compared it with garmin and rand McNally not to mention other apps like google maps which is not trucker friendly and Waze you spend too much time pushing buttons which is not safe in a commercial vehicle I’m still working with it and believe it or not it has not let me down at least not yet again this app deserves a five star just because so far it doesn’t stand up to other devices and apps good job .update I have notice that at times it’s it fails to calculate times to distance so let me say this if they can fix this only glitch that I see and tested I still use and rely on this incredible app ..Version: 1.18.5
✓ Go-to GPS for Truck DriverThis is my go-to app. It’s accurate 99% most of the time. Rarely, it’ll have me get off a highway exit only to get back in the highway, but this has happened to me with all the GPS’s I’ve tried. They’ve also updates how & how many truck stops/diesel stations show on the map. All this isn’t bad for a free app that I can use on my iPhone and tablet. I also really like the variety of route options given to a destination. Complaints: 1) I wish this would alert me to weigh stations (opened/closed) on my route..Version: 1.14.2
✓ Brilliant appSometimes little glitches but overall its brilliant app.Version: 1.21.18
✓ Much Appreciated!I’ve been using this app for a few months now when I’m going somewhere off the beaten path. It has proven to be very helpful and more times than not it gets me right to my destination. It’s my preferred trucker gps app to use thus far out of the few others I’ve tried. I do notice that sometimes it tells me to take the cars ramp on the NJ turnpike rather than the one designated for trucks but that happens rarely. So as long as you know better as the driver you should be ok...I’m really looking forward to landscape mode as others have already mentioned, that will be a big improvement! Also another more soothing option for the voice would be great too, it does sound very robotic. But overall it’s a great free tool to have as a truck driver and I’m trusting it will continue to get even better as time goes on. Thanks!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ MeGreat nav.Version: 1.21.18
✓ Hammer is strong app with great, intuitive features.Set your load, truck config and turn it loose! Great tool!.Version: 1.21.18
✓ EXCELLENT APPVery very Good.Version: 1.21.18
✓ Needed it for a road trip and it SAVED me hoursWhile driving a large rental van I needed to avoid parkways and this app saved me hours compared to other commercial navigation apps. The visuals for directions were extremely helpful giving me piece of mind while driving a large vehicle. Plus I was able to include the dimensions of the van to perfect the drive. I was extremely grateful if this app for my journey, would HIGHLY recommend to anyone! The only negative (and it’s small) is that I wish it had the exit numbers for highways versus the name of the road/ exit. But that might be a personal preference!.Version: 1.20.8
✓ SirraSirra app 😃.Version: 1.21.18
✓ Great for Professional driversI drive for a Limousine Service and I’ve been waiting for a free navigation app where you can put the dimensions of your vehicle you’re driving. Some days I drive a 56 passenger motorcoach some days I drive a 43 passenger Freightliner. I’ve been caught in situations where other GPS’s have taken me to a bridge where there is clearance height issues. Hammer will navigate you around that and give you the best route for the type of vehicle that you’re driving, not just truckers but other professional drivers as well..Version: 1.16.0
✓ Happy truckerGreat app!.Version: 1.21.18
✓ PerformenceGood app.Version: 1.21.18
✓ Great appVery easy to use and very better.Version: 1.21.17
✓ Excellent but a few quirksI love the trip time accuracy and the routing. Both are phenomenal for any gps, much less a free one. However, turn-by-turn audio alerts and directions leave a lot to be desired. Directions lack clear display or exit numbers and target interstates, which is common to almost all current gps. Vocal cues also lack clear identification of what exit to take and which road is the target. This is all well and good for rural areas but intense interchanges can be problematic and require a glance down to see where to go…maybe. This is a safety concern under those conditions and represents the only real gripe I have with the whole application..Version: 1.16.1
✓ Truck driver JohnI spent hundreds of dollars on GPS systems for my truck to make sure I go to the proper commercial routes as required. This app is 10 times better than any GPS system I have used I can plug any address in my phone and this app will get me there better than the GPS I use. I wish I would’ve had this app prior to getting all the GPS I-had bought.I also found that this can get me places better than the GPS itself where the GPS will run in circles. This app gives me straight there the most awesome app I’ve ever owned for directions in a commercial vehicle..Version: 1.20.8
✓ Great app, still some improvements needed.The app is easy to navigate and provides lots of info relevant to a trucker. The latest enhancements are a welcome upgrade. Some of the color schemes and font sizes could be better: white on orange for the dark screen??? Please make that black on orange. Also the font size for the miles to the next turn, please make that twice as large. Finally 6 clicks to change from light to dark display is too much, please make that a one click option on the main screen..Version: 1.19.1
✓ The user interface is designed for office, and not for the cabinPlenty of room for improvements. User interface is not designed for the truck. There is plenty of room to have easy and most important FAST readable fonts / numbers. We are talking about driving big rig on busy highways. The “GO” mode, that is very close to ideal, has way better interface than the “navigation” one..Version: 1.21.18
✓ Very satisfied, but…I’m very satisfied with the app. It gives me all info I need to complete my route in a timely manner. But the multiple stops feature needs a little tweaking. Before Hammer, I used Mapquest & even though it was getting the job done, there was no commercial vehicle option so I found myself improvising quite a bit throughout the day. With Hammer (as a Hazmat driver) you can enter the specifics of your particular load & classifications of the materials you’re hauling & it automatically selects the most effective route for you. Also, you can add if the place you’re delivering to has a truck entrance for the benefit of other delivery drivers that are also going there for the 1st time. My only problem with the app is that the multiple stops feature is not as user friendly as Mapquest. You can get used to it & make it work for you, but like I did, you might have to work on it at home like I did, until you get the hang of it. If they make it a little bit more user friendly, it’s definitely a 5 stars app..Version: 1.18.5
✓ Amazing helperAbsolutely wonderful.Version: 1.21.18
✓ Best app ever…“Yes! Yes! Yes!” Is all I can say. Finally the app I wished for , I am all over the place and heavily rely on nav, “the eye in the sky” is what I call em’. I drove rideshare for many years and trust me there is nothing more important then having a good navigation, with all the road closures and parades and craziness in NYC you just can’t take chances… working now with all different types of heavy and tall box trucks… it can be a real hard time avoiding “car only roads”….”clearance” and so much more. Without hammer I would be lost, pun intended. Seriously, love this app, helps me more then you can imagine, INSANELY cool features… when the app is running I feel part of a “kind and helping” community. Thanks HAMMER!!.Version: 1.18.3
✓ Great app for new driversI do deliveries in new towns this app helps alot when taking a new route to ensure its a truck route.Version: 1.21.15
✓ Very good viewVery good view of road and information on map.Version: 1.21.18
✓ Awesome all I can sayThis is a must have if u drive anything that’s big n heavy Even some of you who pull your boats might want to give it a shot. I drive a quad Dumptruck n sometime a hot shot with a forty five foot trailer. I delivery ship containers. And most of them are purchase by home owners who use them for storage n the back of there homes they live on small road that are not suitable for big vehicles. This app has save me from getting into a jam a few times. Like not being able to turn around because the neighborhood are to small. It tells you things like that as well as keeping you on a truck route..Version: 1.17.3
✓ QuickVery quick to find location. Perfect to replace Garmin.Version: 1.21.18
✓ ExcellentExcellent.Version: 1.21.18
✓ Really good appThanks.Version: 1.21.18
✓ As a truck driver I love itIt’s help me to save from traffic tickets.Version: 1.21.18
✓ So how about a trucker app that can keep you out of troubleThis app will keep you from going the wrong way such as saying you cannot fit a trailer over 50 through certain mountain rodes, many other apps say “ good to go” but not this one. Says “cannot find safe route” or something like that. No other app does that that I have seen. Thank for the free live saving app!! Only rated 4 stars because for some towards beginning and end of route always has you do a drive through a neighborhood to “turn around” when you could just make a right or left at the stop light at the main intersection with plenty of room..Version: 1.14.3
✓ RevSddf.Version: 1.21.18
✓ Great appSo I’ve jumped back in the drivers seat and stumbled upon this app. It’s great in so many ways but wish there was a way to adjust the max speed I drive as it’s like any other gps app I use that bases everything off the posted speed. So having an ETA would be closer to what’s shown in the screen. Also like Waze or google maps for instance you can mark to police if you see any or even mark construction or slowdown, etc... but you can’t on this app but wish you could. Maybe it’s in the works. Overall still a great app.Version: 1.9.1
✓ Commercial DriverBest service so far. Keep up the good work guys..Version: 1.21.18
✓ Not only for CDL drivers, also U-Haul driversI’m from Florida, currently living in Long Island, NY and had to rent a 20’ U-Haul for the drive back. I was unaware that the bridges on parkways here are too low and U-Haul trucks are restricted on them. After some research, I found this app which is above and beyond what you expect from a free app. I actually wish the maps app on my iPhone was as complete as this app and had as many features as it does. It got me out of NY safely and I highly recommend it, no way I would have found my way out of Long Island without help..Version: 1.18.5
✓ Good to use but fonts are too small to readSome ads but it’s free so I am OK with that. While driving, I think important things are distance to exit or turn, exit number and the way ahead. But text size is so small to read while driving. And if zoom in and out is automatically working depend on speed, it should be helpful..Version: 1.21.18
✓ Awesome app👍👍👍.Version: 1.21.18
✓ FantasticFantastic work.Version: 1.21.18
✓ AwesomeYou guys are the best you think of everything your updates your bugs your fixes you’re on the ball that’s one thing we can count on. We’re on the when we are on the road. We need something reliable that we can depend upon in real time not AI time. Thank you very much Five stars.Version: 1.21.18

✓ GPSBest truck gps ever.Version: 1.21.18
✓ Need exit numbers postedIt would be very helpful if exit numbers were included on the upcoming actions written at the top. As well as direction highway is running. For example. It may show that in 5 miles you need to take exit on the right for i35, but what if both exits are on the right? It should read “in 5 miles take exit 15a for i35 south. It currently, only gives you the exit number and direction verbally with only a few seconds notice. I’ve taken the wrong exit a few times in the Dallas area. Not a place to make mistakes in a big truck..Version: 1.18.3
✓ NiceHighly recommend works better than others super cool app.Version: 1.21.18
✓ FinallyFinally someone did truck route planner gps for truckers. Thank U so much, it helps a lot. It would be nice if U could make it like in the inRoute, if I don't use gps then i can just look in to maps and the arrow will be always in centered. For example: i put several points i did a route but I don’t want to use gps i just want to look from the top which U don’t have that option. If You’ll have time plz look at the inRoute app to see what I’m talking about. I’ve been using this app for 5 years really good app..Version: 1.9.1
✓ A true Trucker’s friend!Someone said to me when I first started driving and I thank this person for telling me …and I also am this person now who’s telling others make sure you download this app! there’s a lot of good information in addition to the great driving directions it provides. The cool feature is in my opinion, it’s just as good as a regular GPS because it downloads the maps to your phone or tablet. That makes it just as good as a regular GPS..Version: 1.21.18
✓ GoodPerfection.Version: 1.21.18
✓ Love it!Perfect for me. i love this app.Version: 1.21.18
✓ Great tool to useI use this daily. It works great give good safe routes. I just wish we could fix the manually put in speed limits on some routes. Because some roads at 45 and hammer says 30. So I’d like to tap the speed limit and over ride it sorta thing. I love the feature the will warn me when I’m speeding. We get tracked at work for speed and this helps me so much without looking at my phone because it just beeps when I hit the speed limit and then gets more and more persistent when I go over the speed limit. Over all rate 4 stars great tool and best of all it’s free. Good job Hammer keep up the good work and keep it affordable for us drivers thanks..Version: 1.20.3
✓ Good appI like this app.Version: 1.21.18
✓ Great App, very Useful “Crash Fix Required”Started driving big rigs over the road recently and this app was recommended by a dear friend which came in real handy. Been experiencing some issue lately as in the app unfortunately crashes once it’s set to a specific route and you look for travel centers through the route itself. It’s been over two days I’m experiencing this issue hope the developer fixes the issue so this app can get 5 star rating from me and many others..Version: 1.17.3
✓ Good appMake sure to put the address not the name of the place.Version: 1.21.18
✓ Owner operatorThis is best truck GPS I have seen in my life very accurate.Version: 1.21.18

✓ You asked for itLittle Johnny had a friend named Rick and is asked Rick ran down the street and ask the hooker. How much do you charge and she said that much let’s go around the corner and I will work you over. He said wait just a minute he runs back to Johnny this is Johnny we’re gonna go around the corner and she’s gonna work me over Genesis here. Take this piece of paper with you have her fill this out first, then ask her how much she charges and what she would perform Ricks is OK Jenny I will do it. He runs down there with excitement and he has a piece of paper and she says what is this and he says oh I want you to write me a five star rating and yes I’ve done nothing the hooker told him to get lost. How can you write a review? Without doing any samples Rick runs back to Johnny this is this lady is crazy she won’t do as I ask Johnny says that’s the world we live in everybody want something first and something for nothing how about riding the review after you use the app thank you..Version: 1.20.8
✓ You are very good service thank youYou are very good thank you very much l love your services.Version: 1.21.18
✓ My experienceI’m new to trucking. After I purchased an expensive GPS (I won’t say which one), it malfunctioned. Hammer to the rescue! Even though it doesn’t provide as much info as more expensive/dedicated GPS units, it never failed! I like this app and continue to use it, even now. It’s free and I recommend it! I suggest you install this app on a second/spare telephone or a dedicated tablet/iPad so you’re incoming texts/alerts don’t obstruct your view of the screen, especially while in traffic. 5/5!.Version: 1.20.8
✓ Best truck route app!As a Canadian truck driver that travels to the US, this is the best app for clarification of no truck paths and height limits. I use it everyday to find the best way to destinations. I love how it will give you multiple routes to choose which is best for you!!.Version: 1.21.18
