Navigation powered by Google Maps is now available for all Spoke Route Planner drivers

Previously, internal navigation powered by Google Maps was only available on specific plans. We've now rolled out Google-powered navigation on Spoke Route Planner for all plans, whether free or paid, so that every driver can benefit from the full range of navigational features.

Functionality such as live traffic disruption alerts, satellite map views, and turn-by-turn directions all help drivers successfully handle the challenges they face on the road.

When driving conditions become difficult in the dark, drivers can now also benefit from automatic theme changing, which switches the Spoke Route Planner app theme between light and dark depending on the time of day on the phone.

How to select automatic theme switching:

  • In the app, go to > Settings
  • General Preferences > Theme
  • Select > Automatic (Sunset/Sunrise)
