What this mod does
Add information to portable navigation is a mod by kani_missile that expands the «Portable Navi», the portable GPS from the Cabin Accessories DLC. It doesn’t add a new accessory: it edits the one you already have so it shows more data, which comes in handy if your truck’s speedometer is hard to read or if you drive with the HUD turned off.
What it shows
- Current time and engaged gear.
- Current speed and the speed set on cruise control.
- A slightly bigger speed limit (easier to read at night since the October 2024 version).
- Time to destination (not the estimated arrival time) and the default route.
Version and compatibility
The author tested it on 1.55, and on January 2, 2026 confirmed it works without issues on 1.57 with the Scania S. It can be used in multiplayer as an optional mod. It doesn’t work well on the Volvo FH Series 6: the December 2024 version hides the cruise control sample values until SCS fixes a bug.
Conflicts
It edits the portable GPS file, so it clashes with other mods that change that same accessory: whichever has higher priority wins. If you use GPS design mods, place this one above them. The route line may cover part of the text; the author recommends GPS mods that don’t heavily color the route.
