Navigation

Plan the route, add stops and ask your dispatcher to guide you. Navigation brings a full set of route controls together with voice commands—and follows your setup from the desktop to a phone or tablet.

Choose the voice beside you

Meet your two dispatchers: Erin Hart, known as Heart on the radio, and Michael Mercer. Each brings a distinct personality to your drive in ATS or ETS2.

Erin Hart · “Heart”

Kind, patient and organized. Erin worked her way from warehouse receiving through night dispatch to fleet operations. She connects the details, asks useful questions and believes the best plan is one that works for the driver.

Michael Mercer

Calm, practical and quietly funny. Michael spent nearly three decades driving regional and long-haul freight before moving to dispatch. He brings a driver’s perspective, straightforward answers and a reassuring presence on a long run.

Two personalities. The same capable support.

Ask either dispatcher to find fuel, rest stops, service or scales and set a route with your voice. Check your next turn, return to your delivery, or ask about cargo, arrival time, fuel range and available truck readings—all using your game and navigation data.

Choose the personality you enjoy hearing. Both offer the same supported driving questions and navigation commands.

A working navigation panel

  • Turn guidance. Follow your calculated route with the next maneuver, remaining distance and estimated drive time.
  • Useful destinations. Route to your delivery, fuel, rest, service or scales.
  • Map controls. Zoom, recenter on the truck, view the full route and switch between north-up and truck-up orientation.
  • Perspective & rotation. Explore the map’s angled view and adjust its orientation.
  • Day & night. Switch map colors for the conditions you prefer.
  • Route recovery. Recalculate when you leave the calculated route.

Add waypoints to your journey

Build a route with intermediate stops instead of navigating to just one destination.

  1. Choose your final destination. Start with your delivery or a supported map location.
  2. Select a place on the map. Open its location card.
  3. Choose Add waypoint. Add up to five intermediate stops while keeping the final destination.

Use Navigate here when you want the selected location to become your destination.

The best part: ask your dispatcher to set the route

Voice recognition connects the dispatcher directly to navigation. Find a supported stop, ask to go there and follow the route in The Dispatcher.

Find the next stop

“Navigate to the nearest fuel station.”

Plan a break

“Take me to a rest stop.”

Use the result you just heard

“Navigate there.”

Continue the delivery

“Back to delivery.”

You can also ask for your next turn or say “End navigation” to stop guidance.

Navigation over your game

Pop out the map as a separate window or choose a phone-shaped or tablet-shaped software overlay. Position it over the game so your route stays in view.

Or use your actual phone and tablet

Your physical devices can show the companion dashboard too. Keep the game on your main screen and put navigation beside your wheel.

  1. Keep The Dispatcher running on your gaming PC.
  2. Connect your phone or tablet on the same home network using the app’s device link or connection code.
  3. Select Navigation in the device’s panel choices. Add other available panels to suit your setup.

The software overlays sit over the game on your computer. The companion views run on the real phone or tablet you already own.

The Dispatcher calculates its own routes; it does not change the game’s GPS route. Navigation requires supported map data for the active game and map setup. Physical devices are not included.
