ETS2-ATS GPS for Windows 1.12.0

• Jobs before pickup: a Freight Market job is seen as soon as you take it, not only when the trailer is hooked up. The app asks New job: cargo, from ... to ... Navigate to the pickup at ...?, the banner and Job Info show Pickup: ... → ..., and when you hook up the trailer the route switches to the delivery by itself. Take the job and the Job button work before pickup too (needs a TruckSim GPS server that reports the selected job, version 7 or later).
• Units: Settings > Units chooses Same as the game (km in ETS2, miles in ATS), Metric or Imperial, in either game: distances, speeds, fuel, weights and the spoken prompts.
• Voice control and the instrument cluster: minimize and restore now also minimize and restore the ETS2-ATS Instrument Cluster window when it is open; minimize the GPS / minimize the cluster (and restore ...) act on one of them only.

The web version (iPad, iPhone, any browser) served by this app gets the same job-pickup and units features.

ETS2-ATS GPS for Windows 1.11.1

ETS2-ATS GPS for Windows 1.11.1

• Rest areas: the parking places that the game marks on its own map are now on the map too. Most rest areas in ATS, and many in ETS2, were missing. Nearest rest area (POI button, voice and the rest-needed warning) uses them as well.
• Map mods with a base folder (for example ATS Expansion) are read completely, so all their roads show on the map.
• Voice control: minimize the window and restore the window (or show the map) minimize the GPS window or bring it back, without taking the keyboard from the game. A bare no is no longer a command, so it is not picked up by mistake.

Both maps are rebuilt once automatically (about a minute each). On the Android app or browser, download the map again from the PC to get the new rest areas.

ETS2-ATS GPS for Windows 1.11.0

ETS2-ATS GPS for Windows 1.11.0: American Truck Simulator support

• American Truck Simulator. The app now works with ATS as well as ETS2, and is renamed ETS2-ATS GPS. It sees which game is running and switches by itself. It builds the ATS map from your ATS install and mods (the first ATS start takes about a minute), and in ATS shows mph, miles, gallons, an American SPEED LIMIT sign and Interstate / US / state road shields, with the game clock at 1:20. Saved trips, avoided roads and the distance scale are kept separately for each game.
• Gravel, dirt and farm roads that the game's GPS uses (common in rural America) are on the map and can be routed over, as slow roads.
• Company yards are drawn with the same shapes as on the game's own map.
• Smoother route line: no more small sideways steps where road pieces join and inside junctions.
• Steam Cloud profiles: the game's GPS destination and job are also read from saves Steam keeps in the cloud.
• More voices: the modern Windows voices (for example the male Microsoft George) and, when the Voicebox app runs on the PC, Voicebox voices (George stands in if Voicebox does not answer in time).
• Voice control listens to the microphone the way calls do (Windows' communications processing) and sets the level automatically, so headset and wireless microphones work much better. Not now also understands no thanks, maybe later, not this time and more. What was heard is written to %APPDATA%\ETS2-GPS\voice_control.log (text only, no audio) to help with microphone problems.
• The repositories were renamed to ETS2-ATS-GPS-Win and ETS2-ATS-GPS. Older versions still find this update through GitHub's redirect.

ETS2 GPS for Windows 1.10.1

Windows app v1.10.1

• Roundabouts where traffic drives on the left (UK, Ireland, Malta, Cyprus, Isle of Man, Channel Islands): exits are now counted clockwise, so the spoken exit and the number in the turn picture match the route. They were counted anticlockwise as on the continent, so "3rd exit" could be announced as "1st exit".
• Voice control works with real voices through a desk microphone: a command is accepted when the wake word and at least one word of the command were clearly heard, instead of needing a high score for the whole sentence. If GPS is often missed, try Computer as the wake word (Settings > Voice control).
• Map badges (fuel, rest areas, service centres ...) are 30% smaller.
• install.ps1 closes a running ETS2 GPS before replacing it and starts it again afterwards.

ETS2 GPS for Windows v1.10.0

Windows app v1.10.0

Automatic quick save

• When the game's GPS gets a new destination before a job has started (a job with a pickup elsewhere, or a point you set on the game's map), the app presses your own quick-save key once, so the "Navigate there?" offer appears within seconds instead of at the game's next autosave.
• It uses the key from your game controls (F5 by default), only while the game is in front and not paused, at most once a minute. The game's quick-save slot is replaced. Settings > Game GPS destination switches it off.
• The tablet / browser version benefits too, while this app runs on the PC.

Display

• The next turn after this one is shown on the left, under the turn picture in the green bar, a little larger and in the same green.
• Road-number shields on the map are twice as large.

ETS2 GPS for Windows v1.9.0

Windows app v1.9.0

Drop-off flag

• A job route now leads to the entrance of the company yard, where the game's own route reaches the company, and the chequered flag stands on the drop-off spot inside the yard (the easy-parking spot, where the game puts its delivery flag). A dashed line joins the end of the route to the flag.
• At the end of the mapped road the app tells you to follow the flag and shows the distance to it; You have arrived at the drop off point is announced at the flag.

Follows the game's GPS when there is no job

• When you set a destination on the game's map, or drive to a pickup before the job starts, the app offers to navigate there, through the game's waypoints. It reads the destination from your newest save, so it appears after the game's next autosave or a quick save. Saves are only read, never changed. Settings switch: Game GPS destination.

Routing fixes

• Routes go round closed border crossings (checkpoints whose roads are all hidden in the game, such as the Russian borders and the Lebanon - Israel border), whose gates never open.
• After a ferry crossing the route starts on the road; it could start back across the sea. Ferry and car-train crossings show as dashed blue lines instead of grey roads.

Voice control

• The new-job and game-GPS questions can be answered with GPS, take the job or GPS, not now; GPS, follow the game route goes straight to where the game's GPS is set.

Also

• The built-in server shares the drop-off spots and the game's GPS destination with the tablet / browser version (Android app v1.12.0).
• The map is rebuilt once, automatically, the first time the app starts with the game running (about a minute and a half).
• Save files are decoded with SIIDecryptSharp (MIT licence, see SiiDecrypt/README.txt).

ETS2 GPS for Windows v1.8.0

Voice control

• Use the app by voice while the game has the focus: say the wake word and a command, for example "GPS, nearest fuel station", "GPS, take the job", "GPS, show job info", "GPS, show the map", "GPS, how far is it". Say "GPS, help" for the list.
• Switch it on in Settings > Voice control (microphone), where you can also change the wake word. It uses the English speech recognizer built into Windows on your PC; no audio is recorded, stored or sent anywhere.

Job Info dashboard

• On a wide window the Job Info screen is now the same dashboard as on the tablet: header strip with from / to, progress and clocks, five headline cards (cargo, arrival, time to deadline with ON TIME / LATE, fuel for this trip with ENOUGH FUEL / REFUEL NEEDED, job and income) and five detail cards.
• It always fills the window without scrolling, whatever the window size. A tall or narrow window shows the cards as a grid, also fitted to the window.

Also

• The real time and distance under the route name are shown in yellow.

ETS2 GPS for Windows v1.7.2

New app icon

• The Windows app (window, taskbar, Start Menu shortcut, installer) now uses the ETS2 GPS truck and location-pin artwork as its icon.
• The web version served by the app has it too: a favicon in the browser tab, and a home-screen icon (and a small web manifest) when you add the page to the home screen of an iPad, iPhone or Android tablet. If you added the page before, remove it and add it again to get the new icon.
• Nothing else changed from v1.7.1. The matching Android app (v1.11.2) already has the same icon.

ETS2 GPS for Windows v1.7.1

Update check

• The apps now look for updates. About once a day (and shortly after start) the Windows and Android apps check GitHub for a newer release and tell you; Settings > Updates has Open the download page, Skip this version, Check for updates now and a switch to turn the check off. Nothing is downloaded or installed for you: the check is one small request to the public GitHub API and the app only ever opens a page on github.com. The tablet / browser version shows the same notice for the Windows app.
• Nothing else changed from the previous release.

The matching Android app is v1.11.1.
