What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content. sdfsd

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Accurate navigation is a must-have for professional drivers, not only for reaching their destination but also for ensuring safety, compliance, and efficiency on every journey.

The Trucker Guide | Navigation system helps you plan routes that match your vehicle type and cargo needs, avoiding no-truck zones, restricted roads, and other hazards. 

Ready to get started? Let’s walk through the first six steps to quickly build a smart, customized route, so you can get on the road with confidence.

Step 1. Open the Navigation System

Tap the truck navigation icon to launch the system. You’ll be taken directly to the direction screen, where the entire route-building process begins.

Step 2. Choose Your Destination

It’s the first step to build your route. The system will automatically detect your current location, so set your final destination to begin building your route. You can make it manually if you know the address. 

If typing addresses isn’t your thing (or you're not 100% sure of the exact one), there's another option. You can choose your destination directly on the map instead. Tap “Select on Map” to visually explore and drop a marker exactly where you need to go.

From here, you can pan around, zoom in for a closer look, and tap anywhere on the screen to drop a marker at your desired location. It’s a great way to get a better sense of the area. If you place the marker in the wrong spot, simply tap again to move it.

Once you’re satisfied with the placement, take a look at the bar at the bottom of the screen. You’ll see two buttons:

- Cancel – lets you discard the current selection

- Add to Route – confirms your destination and adds it to your list

Tap on “Add to Route” when you’re ready to move forward. The system will then return you to the first direction screen.

Step 3. Add More Stops (Optional)

Now that your primary stop is set, repeat the same process to build a complete multi-stop route if you need. Either type in the next address or use the map to pin another location.

If the stops are out of order, no problem. Just tap and drag each item up or down the list to rearrange them.

Step 4. Preview and Compare Your Route Options

With all your stops added, reviewing your route options takes time. Tap the “View Route” button to enter the second mode of the system.

You’ll see two or more route options based on your input. Take a moment to review them and choose the one that best fits your needs. 

Here are a few key details to consider:

- Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) – Stay on top of your schedule and keep everyone at your destination informed with accurate arrival predictions based on real-time conditions.

- Points of Interest (POIs) – While planning your route, easily explore nearby places such as restaurants, diesel fuel stations, and rest areas directly from the bottom bar. For a smoother journey, we recommend adding potential challenges like low bridges and weigh stations to your route to avoid delays.

- Traffic Cameras – Get a clear picture of road conditions by accessing live traffic cameras along your route. With just one tap on the “Cameras” button, you can check for traffic jams, weather forecasts, and other potential disruptions ahead.

Taking a few extra seconds to review these details can save you a lot of time later.

Step 5. Customize Your Settings for a Smarter Route

Before hitting the road, ensure the system is tailored to your truck’s specifications and road preferences for the most accurate and efficient route. 

To get the best results, input:

- The height, weight, and length of your truck, so it avoids roads or bridges that aren’t suitable for your size.

- Road types you’d prefer to skip, such as toll roads, narrow streets, or ferries.

- If you're carrying hazardous materials, the system can plan a legal and safe route for hazmat transport.

Step 6. Start Navigating with Confidence

Once you’ve selected the route that works best for your trip, it’s time to start driving. Simply tap the “GO” button located in the bottom-right corner of the screen. 

That’s when the main navigation mode kicks in, and you’ll start receiving turn-by-turn notifications, real-time traffic updates, and other helpful features for your drive.

You’re now all set for a smooth, well-planned journey. See you in the next part!
