Safety & terms

Last updated 1 September 2026

LorryMate assists you. It does not drive for you.

The sign at the bridge is the authority. The sign at the weight limit is the authority. If what the screen says and what the sign says do not agree, the sign is right and the screen is wrong — and please tell me, so it stops being wrong for everyone else.

Map data is never complete and never perfectly current. Roads close, limits change, and some restrictions were never recorded anywhere. You remain responsible for the route you drive and for the vehicle you are driving.

Do not operate the app while moving. Set your route before you set off.

Your vehicle's measurements

LorryMate routes using the height, width, length and weight you enter. If those are wrong, the route will be wrong. Measure your vehicle rather than estimating it, and raise the height setting before you plan a route when you are carrying a load that makes you taller than usual.

Test software

LorryMate is provided as test software, as it is, with no warranty of any kind. It may contain errors, it may stop working, and it may change without notice. It is currently free to use while in testing.

To the extent permitted by law, no liability is accepted for any loss, damage, delay, fine or penalty arising from use of the app. Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

What you may do with it

Install it on the devices you drive with, and use it for your own journeys. Please do not redistribute the APK, decompile it, or resell it. If a colleague wants a copy, send them to this website and I will know who is using it — which matters, because I need to know who to warn if something turns out to be wrong.

What you mark on the map

Roads you mark, places you add and other observations stay on your device and, if you use an account, in your own account so they follow you to your other devices. They are not shared with other drivers and do not change anyone else’s routes. If a shared layer is ever introduced, it will be opt-in and I will ask you first. See the privacy page for what is stored and what is not.
