NHVR makes the switch to Route Planner
NHVR Route Planner replaces the Journey Planner from 27 June, 2019.
Route Planner makes it easier to plan your journey with the most accurate and up-to-date road information; and a Street View feature that allows users to visually review locations and surroundings.
The tool also features detailed Road Manager boundaries; extra map layers for vehicle types, rest stops and networks; and handy draw and measure tools.
Drivers using Route Planner can easily view approved road networks for heavy vehicles and pinpoint locations that require access applications.
Route Planner uses improved Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping information, including data from the Public Sector Mapping Agency, Google Maps and MapData Services.
For those who used the previous version, don’t panic: your IDs and access to existing routes will still exist on the new system.
