Key features

Real map, real routes. The actual road network of both games, with routes calculated over real roads and a heading-up GPS mode with turn-by-turn directions.
Routes for the DLCs you own. Pick which map DLCs you have and routes go around the countries and states you don't.
A full dashboard on a second screen. Speed, fuel, rest, wear and the whole trip on one panel, and it works out whether you arrive before the deadline and whether the fuel lasts.
In-game overlay. On Windows, a small panel right on top of the game with speed and the limit, the next turn, distance left and arrival, in real time and on the game clock. Clicks go through it and it never takes focus from the game.
Button box. Hazards, beacon, lights, wipers, cruise, camera and more: tap on the phone and the client presses the key you set in the game.
Spoken directions with natural recorded voices in eight languages, including Latin American Spanish.
Trip logbook and stats with an optional free account: every job with its route colored by speed, pay, fuel and times, records, achievements, friends to follow and a public profile if you want one.
Live map and convoys. See other drivers moving live with the route they are on, or drive with friends in a convoy without TruckersMP.
Any screen, anywhere. Phone, tablet or monitor, portrait or landscape, on Wi-Fi or mobile data. Every panel and button can be moved.

Long (about 150 words)

Truck Dash is a free, open-source second screen for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. A small Windows program reads the game's official telemetry, and everything else is a web page you open on whatever screen you have: a phone on the dashboard, a tablet next to the wheel or a spare monitor.

It shows the real road network of both games with routes over real roads, a heading-up GPS mode with spoken directions, and a dashboard that works out whether you will make the deadline and whether the fuel lasts. A button box sends hazards, lights, wipers and cruise to the game from the phone. Routes avoid the map DLCs you don't own. On Windows it can also draw a small overlay with the speed and the next turn right on top of the game.

An optional free account keeps a logbook of every job with its route, stats and achievements. There are no ads, no paid tier and no routing limits. Try it in the browser at trucksim-dash.com.

Ideas for a video or article

Setup in two minutes: download, the plugin installs itself, type the code on the phone, drive.
The cockpit build: a phone or old tablet mounted next to the wheel as GPS, and a second phone as the button box.
A full delivery with the second screen: the panel saying whether you make the deadline, the fuel warning, the voice at each turn.
Your trucking year in numbers: the logbook and stats after a few weeks of driving.
No second screen: the overlay on top of the game, with the turn, the limit and the arrival on the game clock against the deadline.
Convoy night: friends on the same map, each in their own game, following the leader.

For clean footage without the game running, record the demo: it drives a simulated truck from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas with the full interface.
