Okay, I guess the mod game description must be outdated, there were initials plans to make it but it was never accomplished.
Sorry about that, I have to update the in-game mod description.

I'm looking for the full Garmin one. The description in game mentioned a full Garmin mod that you made, but when I went looking for it this is the only one that popped up.

This mod replaces the vanilla arrow GPS indicator by the truck indicator used in Garmin GPS's.
If what you are referring is a full on Garmin GPS mod, then no, this mod is not that.

The description in the game mentions a Garmin GPS mod, is that still a thing?

@socorro
That happens when you start the game with OpenGL.
Try using other option, such as directX11.

the truck model seems to be broken and just shows a black box instead. is there a fix to this?

@Bigtonytomato
Yes, the icon also appears in the world map, in the job maps no icon appears just like without the mod.
Bigtonytomato 9 Aug, 2022 @ 9:02am 
does this show up as a truck on the world and job maps as well?

@Meliora_espero

Just put the mod in the active mods column in-game, and make sure it´s above any other gps mod, or mod that may affect the gps.

I really can't figure out how to switch from standard gps to mod, please help

@Wolfy
The problem is explained in the description.
This mod doesn´t work with Open GL.
Wolfy 17 Apr, 2021 @ 6:10pm 
It doesn't work. It shows a black rectangle instead :/ What causes this issue ? Thanks in advance for the answer
Hokkaido_Emi 30 Mar, 2021 @ 5:25am

The ETS2 version has just been uploaded to the Steam Workshop.

Go check it out.

Thank you, ZNMac07.
Hokkaido_Emi 30 Mar, 2021 @ 4:40am 
any chance you can get this working for ets 2 1.40 please?
Kaarlows 29 Mar, 2021 @ 9:50pm 
Please update the description noting this doesn't work with OpenGL/Mac players, only DirectX. Thanks.

Great job my friend!

Great mod ZNMac07.Thank you,and thumbs up.
Rene van Vugt 28 Mar, 2021 @ 6:18am 
The drivers who get the black box are playinf the game in Open GL. If you want to see the truck icon you will have to start the game in Direct X.

@Luis5x @Fancy
I've just checked and it's all working fine.

Make sure you have this mod in higher priority than any mod that modifies the gps.
If you are using a truck mod try putting this mod in higher priority too.

This mod only changes one file, which is the player.dds so it's not very likely that this mod is the problem, try changing the mod priority and check other mods that you might have.
Luis5x 24 Mar, 2021 @ 8:13am 
i get a black box on the gps not the truck?????
Fancy 24 Mar, 2021 @ 8:09am 
for some reason for me the icon is just a black box why is this?
ZNMac07  [author] 24 Mar, 2021 @ 4:07am 
I won't be putting color versions of this mod because if I did that there would be tons of different color requests.

What I can do is tell you how to do it yourself, it's really easy.

First you need to get the mod, so go to the drive where you installed steam and go to Steam>steamapps>workshop>content>270880>2430149271. The last two numbers should be right but it can be different for other people.

Inside the last folder is the mod, now you need to get the file player.dds which is in universal>material>ui>map.

Now you just have to open this file with either paint.net or Photoshop and you can modify the color to whatever color you would like, when you're done just save it back as a dds file and put your new modified folder in the mods folder located in documents>American Truck Simulator>mod.

Thank you for your understanding.
