Feedback from the reddit r/trucksim community

Hello!

Yesterday I shared the pre-alpha video for TruckSim GPS on the r/trucksim community on Reddit and got a bunch of feedback! I know many of you joined Patreon from there, so thank you and welcome!

600+ upvotes confirm that there's certainly interest for an app like this one. This means that development continues straight into the first alpha version.
The schedule for what comes next is as follows:


Here's a capture from the Trello board where I dumped all the feedback gathered from the reddit post. If you think I missed something or have more suggestions let me know in the comments!

I expect to make the Trello board visible to everyone soon after alpha-1.


Thank you for being part, I'm super excited for everything we have ahead :)

Hello, thank you for the feedback! I've added voice directions to the backlog, which would require turn detection to work, so we could definitely also add the next turn and distance to the UI as part of that feature. Alternative routes and ETAs, that's interesting, noted. As for traffic yes, I doubt that will be possible, but I'll look into it. I'll be researching integration with TruckersMP or convoy mode, it'd be great to see other truckers in the map at least.

Hello! Maybe you already considered this, but it would be nice to have directions like in GMaps, for example how many miles/km till the next turn, which direction, lanes merging soon etc. Another nice option could be alternative routes and time (duration). I could also add traffic, but that would probably be one of those features that are high complexity, low gains and you would need traffic info, which I doubt is available. Not to mention you will need also integration with traffic density mods.

Hello! It's still not decided at this stage. Very possibly it will be listed for free with support for basic navigation without limits similar to the pre-alpha video, with extra features in a paid pro upgrade.

Have you decided how the app will be listed on mobile app stores? Will it be free to use, or will there be a purchase price? I’d gladly pay a one-time fee for an app like this! 🚛 #WorthIt
