Important!!! It is neccesary to set truck attributes for correct navigation, especially the height and total weight.
To set up the truck dimensions, go to Menu > Settings > Truck Attributes
After the parameters are set, they are used in route calculation from that time on.

You can check currently set truck parameters anytime a route is computed. Clicking on the truck settings button on the map will allow you to change the truck settings and compute the route for new settings.
The map shows only the truck restrictions that are relevant for your vehicle. (So 30t restriction is not displayed to 20t truck.) The roads that are closed for all the trucks are drawn with thin grey line. Please, see the map legend for explanation
Choose route computing method based on your vehicle type:
Use truck attributes
Navigation for trucks. For the best computing suitable for your vehicle, please set your truck attributes. It includes: extended truck parameters (axle weight, axle load, nubmer of trailers, hazardous materilas, ADR tunnel codes), routing optimized for truck vehicles, information about time restrictions for trucks delivery in cities, truck restrictions in maps.
RV or bus attributes
Navigation for big non-truck vehicles like buses or campers
Delivery van navigation
Car navigation for small vans with no need to set any vehicle parameters. Compared to car navigation, it will let you in delivery zones. If you navigate to a delivery zone within its delivery hours, you will be navigated to your destination. If you try to navigate there outside the delivery hours, you will be navigated to the closest reachable point as with car navigation.
Car navigation
Normal navigation for cars with no need to set any vehicle parameters. With car navigation, you will never be navigated to a pedestrian zone. Instead, you will get a message, that your destination is not reachable and you will be navigated to a closest reachable point
Vehicle parameters
Phisical parameters for Truck, RV and bus
| Setting | Description | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Max speed | Maximum allowed speed for your vehicle | The parameter affects route calculation and ETA prediction assuming that this is the maximum speed the vehicle can take. |
| Total weight | Total allowed weight of the vehicle | Sygic will calculate the route using roads where limit is not lower than total weight of vehicle. For example, when setting 40t, the routing will avoid a 22t bridge. |
| Total vehicle length | Total vehicle length | Sygic will calculate the route using roads where limit is not lower than total width of vehicle. |
| Vehicle width | Total vehicle width | Sygic will calculate the route using roads where limit is not lower than total width of vehicle. |
| Maximum height | Maximum height of vehicle | Sygic will calculate the route using roads where limit is not higher then total height of vehicle. For example, Sygic will not guide a 4m high truck driver via tunnels, bridges with tolerance of 3.5m. |
Extended attributes for Trucks only
| Setting | Description | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Axle weight | The heaviest axle weight | Sygic will calculate the route using roads where limit is not higher then axle weight. |
| Number of trailers | Number of trailers attached to the tractor in the range from 0 to many | reserved for future use |
| Number of vehicle axles | Number of the total vehicle axles including trailers in the range from 2 to many | reserved for future use |
| Number of trailer axles | Number of trailer axles in the range from 0 to many | reserved for future use |
| Hazardous load | Specify, whether your load is hazardous and hazardous types. The settings are different for Europe and U.S. maps. | • Europe maps only: o General hazardous materials o Harmful to water • U.S. maps only: o Explosive (Class 1) o Flammable gas (Class 2) o Flammable liequid (Class 3) o Flammable solid (Class 4) o Oxidizer (Class 5) o Poison (Class 6) o Radioactive material (Class 7) o Corrosive material (Class 8) o Miscellaneous (Class 9) o Poison inhalation (Class I) |
| ADR Tunnel Codes | Transport restrictions of hazardous materials through tunnel based on ADR classification. | Choose one of the options: B, C, D, E. For example, when transporting goods of D category, you can enter tunnels of ADR codes B and C. Applicable with Europe maps only |
