Permit Path

Permit Path turns your state-issued oversize/overweight permit PDF into a real GPS drive view — turn-by-turn, with voice prompts, off-route alerts, and a moving map. No more manually typing every turn into another nav app at the truck stop.

Built for the trucker who's tired of:
• Reading turn-by-turn instructions off a printed PDF while driving
• Manually entering 30+ turns into a generic nav app before every trip
• Worrying about a wrong turn off the permitted route — and the fines that come with it

HOW IT WORKS

1. Upload your permit PDF (Texas TxDMV supported in this release; more states rolling out)
2. Permit Path parses every turn, road, and direction automatically
3. See the full corridor on the map before you roll
4. Tap LET'S GO to enter Drive Mode — voice prompts, off-route detection, live mph readout
5. Stay on the legal route. Don't pay a fine.

FEATURES

• Automatic permit PDF parsing — full origin, destination, every turn extracted
• Visual route preview with the permitted corridor drawn on the map
• Voice prompts for upcoming turns at 2 mi, 1 mi, 0.5 mi, and imminent
• Off-route detection with hysteresis — won't false-alarm on a brief drift, will alert loud and clear when you're actually off the corridor
• Strong recovery card when you're more than ~1.2 km off route, so you can get back without panic
• Live mph readout
• Saved permits — re-open a recent permit instantly without re-uploading
• Built for sunlight visibility — high-contrast colors designed for the windshield

WHAT THIS APP IS NOT

• Government affiliated — you bring your own permit from an issuing state.
• Not a routing engine — your permit is the route. The state already chose your path. Permit Path follows it; it does not auto-reroute around traffic. Auto-rerouting is exactly how truckers end up off the permitted corridor and stuck with thousands in fines.
• Not a fleet tracker — your GPS location is processed only on your device. We never transmit your location to our servers.
• Not Hammer — we built this because Hammer makes you type every turn manually. We don't.

PRIVACY

• Uploaded permit PDFs are processed in memory on our backend and not retained.
• Your GPS location is used only on your device. We never receive it. Never store it.
• No advertising IDs, no behavioral tracking, no third-party analytics in this release.
• See our full privacy policy at https://permit-path-app.com/privacy-policy-app

REQUIREMENTS

• Android 7.0 (Nougat) or newer
• Location permission required for Drive Mode
• Internet connection required to upload and parse the permit PDF; once parsed, your saved permits work offline

SUPPORT

This is an early Internal Testing release. We are actively iterating with real truckers running real permits. If a permit doesn't parse, if a turn is wrong, if a voice prompt feels off — please tell us. We need that feedback to make this the navigation app the industry actually deserves.
