Truck Routing Engine

Professional large-vehicle routing engine designed for RVs, trucks, and heavy tow vehicles.

Overview

Procrasticamper uses a truck-class routing engine (powered by HERE) designed for large vehicles — not a car GPS with a size filter bolted on. Routes are calculated from the ground up for vehicles that are tall, heavy, long, and wide.

Why it matters

Consumer GPS units and phone apps route for cars. They don't know about low bridges, weight-posted roads, or tight turns. A truck-class engine treats your RV like the large vehicle it is — because that's what it was built for.

How it works

The HERE Routing API's truck routing mode considers vehicle dimensions, weight, axle count, hazmat restrictions, and road geometry. It accesses a road network database that includes bridge clearances, weight limits, road widths, and turn restrictions — data that consumer routing apps simply don't have.

When to use it

  • Every time you plan a route in Procrasticamper — the truck routing engine is the default
  • You're pulling a heavy trailer or driving a Class A motorhome
  • You're navigating urban areas with infrastructure constraints
  • You need professional-grade routing reliability
