The PTV Navigator is a functional app tool for trucks. You can avoid toll roads, residential neighbourhoods, and ferries by taking into account all regulations and characteristics of vehicles and cargoes when choosing a route.

The PTV Navigator has a clear, simple-to-use interface available in 20 different languages. The API can be integrated into an existing TMS system. With the live traffic assistant, the rerouting feature, and the accurate data of TomTom HD Traffic, you also benefit from automatically updated arrival times.

CoPilot Truck offers more than safe and efficient truck-specific navigation: truck-specific route planning based on vehicle profile and load, dangerous goods categories and ADR tunnel codes, warnings of potential hazards on the way, diversion function on truck-approved roads, and truck-specific POIs including petrol stations and service areas.
