Boston, MA, February 22, 2013 –(PR.com)– Recognizing the specialized navigation needs of truck drivers, TeleType pioneered the use of portable GPS for truck navigation beginning in 2008. The company also offered the first cloud based truck routing app for the Android operating system and has now released the SmartTruckRoute app for iPhone and iPad.

Turn by turn visual and voice instructions allow the driver to use the handset hands free when navigating.
