HERE WeGo Pro truck features

Truck features are the main offering from HERE WeGo Pro. You can use these features to create customized truck routes and route guidance.

Truck restrictions layer

The truck restrictions layer adds information about truck restrictions to the base map. You can calculate a route that considers the truck's attributes into any route limitations, such as low and narrow bridges, hazardous materials, road closures, and tight turns.

You can enable the truck restrictions layer by selecting the Truck Restrictions tab from the map view. The following image shows a route with truck restrictions and the restrictions layer:

Truck routing

Route preferences let you create truck routes with optimal speed limits while avoiding routes with truck restrictions. For example, if your truck has a certain weight, then your route won't contain roads with conflicting weight restrictions.

The following features are available as part of truck routing:

  • Utilizes a truck-specific road network.
  • Trucks arrive on the correct side of the street for your destination.
  • Uses truck speed profiles for ETA calculations.
    • Uses truck-specific speed limits.
  • Considers truck restrictions:
    • Considers time-dependent truck restrictions.
    • Generates a warning when violating restrictions is unavoidable to generate a route.
  • Allows listing truck restrictions along the route.
  • Allows avoiding U-turns at intersections and on highways.
  • Penalizes small roads (Functional Class 5), except those attributed as ferry or transport.

Truck restrictions on a route

Truck restrictions are dependant on the truck dimensions and weight you enter. When you create your route, the app considers your selections, and the generated route has the fewest restrictions possible for your specific truck. For example, if trucks aren't allowed on a specific road, the route created doesn't contain that road.

Note

If you pick a destination with a restriction and then start a route, you see a warning banner on the map.

HERE WeGo Pro truck routing supports the following truck attributes:

  • No truck traffic allowed: Based on access characteristics DELIVERIES=N, TRUCK=N.
  • No truck through-traffic allowed: No trucks except for deliveries. Access characteristics are: DELIVERIES=Y, TRUCK=N.
  • Turn restrictions: This includes conditional. For example: "right turn forbidden for trucks over 10 tons."
  • Maximum allowed height.
  • Maximum allowed width.
  • Maximum allowed length.
  • Maximum allowed current gross weight of the vehicle combination.
  • Hazardous materials
  • Tunnel category
  • Truck-specific, signposted speed limits.
  • Time-dependent restrictions: For example, trucks aren't allowed during certain times of the day or on certain days.

You can set any of the restriction alerts shown in the following illustration. These notify you when the restriction is near your location.

Restrictive maneuvers show violations and display as icons. For example, a road may have a weight restriction of 10 tons and an icon would display with this information.

Truck parking

You can search for truck parking directly on the map, along your route, or near your destination—making long-haul trips easier to plan.

Truck guidance

The following sections provide information on additional guidance features offered by HERE WeGo Pro.

Additional guidance features

Travel safely with global speed limit updates

HERE WeGo Pro displays global speed limits throughout your route. You can set custom speed restrictions to match your vehicle's capabilities and receive warnings if you exceed them.

Stay connected anywhere with automatic offline navigation

Automatic offline navigation mode can assist you if you are planning on being in an area without internet. You can download maps of countries and regions prior to your trip, ensuring access to navigation without a network connection.

With HERE WeGo Pro, your navigation never stops even if your connection does. If your connection suddenly drops, the app automatically switches to your downloaded maps, keeping your journey uninterrupted. Once your connection returns, online navigation returns automatically.

Live tracking

HERE WeGo Pro live tracking is live location data which tracks the position reported by the driver. For more information, see the HERE WeGo Pro - Developer Guide.
