RouteSafe

Truck navigation alternatives, compared honestly

Every product below is good at something — several are good at things RouteSafe doesn't do at all, like fuel cards, offline maps or telematics. These pages compare each one with RouteSafe honestly, so you can pick the right tool for how you actually drive.

RouteSafe is a UK truck-safe navigation app. Enter your registration and it identifies your vehicle via a DVLA lookup, suggests its dimensions for you to review and adjust, then plans routes that are checked against mapped height, width and weight limits, low bridges and bus-lane / access restrictions before you drive. It runs in your phone's browser — 7-day free trial, then £5/year for drivers or £25/year for fleets.

What you get with RouteSafe

Truck-safe route checking. Routes are checked against mapped low bridges, height, width and weight limits, and bus-lane and vehicle-access restrictions along the way — and RouteSafe tells you when a road's access could not be verified rather than quietly sending you down it.

DVLA registration lookup. Type your number plate and RouteSafe identifies your vehicle from official DVLA records, then suggests its dimensions, which you can review and adjust before routing.

Voice turn-by-turn navigation with spoken alerts for restrictions, mapped speed cameras and speed limits, plus community reports from other drivers.

Simple fleet view. Managers can see where their drivers are while they navigate — drivers join by code or accept an invitation, and nothing is shared without their consent.

Honest pricing. 7-day free trial, then £5/year for individual drivers or £25/year for fleets. No card needed to try it.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best truck sat nav for the UK?
It depends what you need: full offline maps and European coverage point to established apps like Sygic Truck or CoPilot Truck; fuel cards and tolls point to platforms like Eurowag; enterprise tracking points to telematics like Webfleet. For affordable UK-only truck-safe navigation with DVLA lookup, that's the job RouteSafe was built for.
How is RouteSafe different from the others?
It is UK-only by design, runs in the browser with nothing to install, identifies your vehicle from its reg via a DVLA lookup and suggests dimensions you can review and adjust, and costs £5 a year after a 7-day free trial.
