- 📦Michael: HGV Nav updated to version 4.9- Fixed National Highways closures occasionally failing to download.
- Added Arrival Side, with options for Any or Kerb Side.
- Adjusted some navigation instructions.
- Missed Turn: Shows the next 3 roundabouts ahead as normal, but only if they are within 10 miles from you. Anything further than 10 miles away won't be shown.
- Design changes.
Removed
- Return Route. This feature was broken, and I haven't been able to get it up and running to the standard I want, so it'll be removed for now.… more - 📦Michael: HGV Nav updated to version 4.8- Traffic alerts can be hidden from the navigation banner, so you can keep your instructions free from distractions and see Waze alerts only on the map as you drive.
- Congestion alerts no longer pick up traffic on the opposite side of the road.
- Minimal Navigation banner. This will move all the route info from top to the bottom in a very minimal detail. Find this under Navigation section > Minimal Banner
- Second instruction similar to other satnavs, for example "Turn left, then right". Will show up in CarPlay as well
- Adjustments to Gantry Messages.
If there's a feature you'd like integrated, send me an e-mail. This app is built entirely around feature requests. For example, the details above were added based on user feedback.… more - ✏️Michael: HGV Nav: new iPad screenshots· GB

- 📦Michael: HGV Nav updated to version 4.6- Traffic lines will show the magnitude of the delay when driving.
- Added AI Camera Zones alerts. If you enter a zone, you'll be notified on both your phone and CarPlay. This works only in London for now, and you have to manually enable this alert in the AI Camera, London section.
- The drone search feature will be limited to 5 searches per day. This service costs a lot of money, and I can't cover the costs at the moment. I'll increase the limit once I generate more revenue.… more - 📦Michael: HGV Nav updated to version 4.5- Fixed traffic alerts. You need to update to see traffic jams on the map (yellow, orange,red lines)
- Added tolls, ferries, tunnels, border crossings, and much more to the map
- AI Cameras added to London section. Locations are approximate, not precise… more - ✏️Michael: HGV Nav: description updated· GB
- 📦Michael: HGV Nav updated to version 4.4ETA will now be influenced by traffic conditions.
Recent searches will log up to 20 previous destinations instead of 5.
The drone feature will remain open permanently, it won’t turn off automatically anymore.
Traffic lines (yellow, orange, and red) will appear during route calculation, so you can see the traffic conditions as they are at that time.… more - 📦Michael: HGV Nav updated to version 4.3Congestion and Road Closure Alerts
These are off by default as some drivers prefer to sit in traffic. You must turn them on in the Navigation section
Important
- If there's no safe alternative route that respects your vehicle's restrictions, you won't be offered one, and you'll stay on your current route
- This feature is new. Feedback is important to get this right… more - ✏️Michael: HGV Nav: description updated· GB
- 📦Michael: HGV Nav updated to version 4.2- Navigation dot on CarPlay has been reduced in size slightly
- Voice Guidance now fires much faster, for example, once at 0.5 mi and then at 0.3 mi before approaching a manoeuvre
- Traffic alerts such as Road Closures / Lane Closures will no longer be picked up from the opposite carriageway
- Renamed DVS@ to Wasp throughout the app for legal reasons
- Design changes for iOS 27
What I tried and failed:
- Live closure alerts and rerouting. For example, if there’s a road closure ahead, you’d get rerouted
- ETA that accounts for traffic jams as you drive
I’m working on these day and night, and they’ll be done soon.… more - ✏️Michael: HGV Nav: new iPad screenshots· GB

- 📦Michael: HGV Nav updated to version 3.7Traffic layer
- You'll see yellow and red lines on the map when there's traffic ahead (not perfect). I've also bumped the Waze alerts up to check every 5 miles ahead instead of every 20 miles.
- This means you'll see traffic alerts more often and they'll be more accurate.
- This also means the traffic bill has tripled. Help out by spreading the word about this app so more people subscribe. Then I can bump it from every 5 miles to every 1 mile ahead, which will match the same real time traffic alerts shown in Google Maps and Waze.
- CarPlay will display traffic lines as well

Profiles and Saved Settings

Next Task is Google Traffic
