Gaode Map launches truck navigation to meet the needs of special groups again.

　　On December 6 th, Yangguang. com reported that Gaode Map launched a brand-new truck navigation function today, which can help many drivers accurately avoid truck-restricted and high-speed routes, and the travel mode and scope of Easy Platform will be upgraded again. This is also a new function launched by Gaode Map for special needs groups after the introduction of barrier-free maps.

　　According to statistics, there are about 30 million truck drivers in China, and there are 15 million road freight vehicles, with an average of more than 84 million tons of goods in transit every day. Because of the strong demand for long-term, long-distance and multi-frequency travel, truck drivers are highly dependent on mobile phone maps and navigation applications. High-tech traffic big data shows that trucks in some areas use navigation for an average of more than 400 minutes in a month.

　　"Trucks should have the highest requirements for navigation and map data fineness among all vehicle types." The person in charge of Gaode Map said that because trucks have strict restrictions on height, width, weight and line, once they enter the restricted road section, it is difficult for trucks to turn around. Not only will they have to pay fines in violation of regulations, but they may also cause road congestion and even cause security risks.

　　Gaode map truck navigation is to solve the urgent needs of cart drivers. Drivers can use this function directly by adding basic parameters such as truck type, brand, weight, length and width when using it for the first time. In the process of truck navigation, Gaode Map performs intelligent calculation based on high-precision big data, and will automatically plan the navigation route that meets all aspects of the truck being driven, which is safe and smooth all the way to avoid violations and dangers.

　　It is understood that at present, the map of Gaode has covered road information such as weight limit, height limit, width limit, axle load limit, traffic limit and prohibition of more than one million trucks nationwide. In addition, the map of Gaode has specially added the location data of national truck checkpoints, and carried out navigation and voice reminder during the navigation process, so that drivers can know the number and location of checkpoints.

　　Another new function of Gaode Map "Team" is also very suitable for the needs of truck drivers. The so-called "team formation" means that drivers share each other’s real-time positions through the same group of team formation passwords, and at the same time, they can be displayed in real time on each other’s Gaode map navigation interface, which is convenient for each other to check and find. Because truck drivers often start together with the team when delivering goods, and the journey is long, they can take care of each other through the "team" function of Gaode map. In addition, with the help of this function, shippers and card owners can also check the real-time location of drivers and keep abreast of trends.

　　The launch of truck navigation once again enriched the travel service of Gaode Map Easy Platform. Easy Platform is the first one-stop public travel service platform launched by Gaode in the middle of this year. It has been connected to many travel service providers such as Didi Chuxing, Shenzhou Special Car, Shouqi Car Rental, mobike, ofo and Flying Pig.
