When I am driving, I am running routing side of this app on my tablet, to help me along the way. I like that on the main route screen it shows what the current weather radar is showing, but in navigation mode, it doesn't. Currently, I am also running the "my radar app" on my phone, also while driving, because it shows me, what the weather looks like ahead of me, and also the wind speed and direction where I am at, so I can make the decision if it is safe to keep driving or if I need to shut down till the storm passes. But unfortunately, my phone will only keep the screen on for ten minutes, and I lose it if some one calls me, both of which require me to take my attention the road, to restart that app on my phone, or proceed with out it. To me, as a very new driver, driving in the northern U.S., in winter, having that information is the most important piece. I have already ran into a situation where I should have shut down for the night, and didnt, because I didn't know that the weather in western Montana was worse in front of me. Thankfully I was able to get to the next rest stop safely. It would be nice, and a lot easier for me, if I got all of that information one one screen.

The route that you are running with the live weather for the route is not from the Truckers Trip planning App but from the SmartTruckRoute II App. This will be a great discussion for improvement that is better presented to them.
On the Truckers Trip Planning App the weather provided is the current and five day forecast for your current location and any stops on your load. I did notice on the server that you are getting an error when you try to view the weather and I emailed you on February 21, 2019 to inform you to make sure locations was turned on. Now that I have seen your screen shots that you sent me, I can see that you are not putting the zip code behind the city and state in the addresses for your pickup and delivery. This is what is causing the error. In order for Accuweather to show you the weather it needs Latitudes and longitudes which is provided to the weather app from your addresses on your dispatch. Adding the zip codes to your addresses will give Accuweather complete information and resolve that error.
