PatrolNav GPS

I must say I love this app, especially with a CarPlay integration. However I have noticed in some areas, the GPS cannot properly acquire the street I am on. It seems to do very well on community roads, but oddly when I get on to larger roads it seems to know my cross streets but cannot detect the street I am on. Overall it is a great app and has resulted in me removing my Garmin for cross streets.

Patrol nav is amazing I use it every shift it has never failed me.

Amazing for traffic stops! Our pursuit policy is terrible but I can see this being helpful during a pursuit, quick glance and you know where you are including a block range. Developer is very responsive on Discord too. Overall, totally worth it! Any tool that’ll increase safety is important to me, this hits the nail on the head.

As a LEO, this app is definitely very useful, but I’d like some additions or improvements. Not all intersections or cross streets show up as “nearest intersection”. It would be better if it just shows every nearest street that joins the one you’re on. There are a lot of side streets that don’t show up as intersections and it would be helpful for more accurate reporting. Trying to cancel navigation to an address is difficult, buttons are small, and trying to do a lot of things on the GPS while driving is a bit difficult especially when you’re trying to get somewhere quickly. The address numbers on the map are perfect and very much needed, but would be amazing if it would show the nearest address when stopped for easy access unless on a major street, especially if there’s no nearest cross streets. Add the ability to have the info panel switch from top to bottom on CarPlay. The display in a lot of cruisers is a bit cut off due to differing heights of individuals and I cannot see the panel a bit due to my height, and I don’t necessarily want to move the edges of the GPS when I can just have the panel on the bottom instead of top. probably got more suggestions as I use it but so far so good. The panel to input addresses and such definitely needs a QOL update.

I would absolutely give it 5 stars, but I wish it had better support for Apple CarPlay. I mean it works, but the map shows up very small on the screen while the letters are humongous. It would be great to make it more proportionate or just develop a more user-friendly interface that will display easily on CarPlay
