How to Create Deep Links to Launch Navigation in Trucker Path

Large fleets often use third-party platforms to manage driver routes. With Trucker Path’s URL launcher, you can seamlessly create deep links that automatically open the Trucker Path app and load a truck-safe route for your drivers.

This article shows how to create and implement these deep links for both iOS and Android platforms.

🔗 What Is a Deep Link?

A deep link is a URL that launches the Trucker Path app directly into navigation mode with your specified stops preloaded. You can include:

• A starting point

• An ending point (required)

• Multiple intermediate stops

Stops must be provided in latitude/longitude format.

Here is an example of a third party app where drivers can click to generate a route to a location.

📱 Deep Link Format by Platform

iOS URL Schema

Base Format:

Parameters:

• saddr: Start location (optional)

• daddr: Destination (required)

• paddr: One or more waypoints separated by | (optional)

Examples:

1. Only a destination:

    

   truckerpath://cal_route?daddr=35.353112,-119.040104

2. Start and end points:

    

   truckerpath://cal_route?saddr=34.353112,-118.040104&daddr=35.353112,-119.040104

3. Full route with 2 waypoints:

    

   truckerpath://cal_route?saddr=34.353112,-118.040104&daddr=35.353112,-119.040104&paddr=33.353112,-117.040104|32.353112,-116.040104

🤖 Android URL Schema

Base Format:

Parameters:

• s_addr: Start location (optional)

• d_addr: Destination (required)

• p_addr: One or more waypoints separated by | (optional)

Examples:

1. Only a destination:

    

   truckerpath://cal_route?d_addr=35.353112,-119.040104

2. Start and end points:

    

   truckerpath://cal_route?s_addr=34.353112,-118.040104&d_addr=35.353112,-119.040104

3. Full route with 2 waypoints:

    

   truckerpath://cal_route?s_addr=34.353112,-118.040104&d_addr=35.353112,-119.040104&p_addr=33.353112,-117.040104|32.353112,-116.040104

Best Practices

• Always verify coordinates before sending to drivers.

• Use HTTPS-encoded versions of the URLs if embedding in a web-based platform.

• Confirm that the Trucker Path app is installed on the device—if not, the link will not resolve.
