Updated for game version 1.55, new mod version number is 1.55.1. Removed support for game versions previous to 1.50.

@Brozi, sorry this mod does NOT work with modded trucks. See my comment below from Sept 30, 2023 for reasons why.

Does it work with modded trucks?

Updated for game version 1.54, new mod version is 1.54.1.

Updated for 1.53, New mod version is 1.53.1.

Updated to 1.52, removed support for versions 1.43 and 1.44. Version 1.52 had some changes to DAF trucks, but they all had in dash GPS and did not need a GPS navigator. New mod versions is 1.52.2.

@Acrillix Thanks for acknowledgement, it is nice to hear. I actually rarely use this mod myself anymore since I tend to play world of trucks and that requires using an owned truck.

I play in VR and I absolutely love this mod. It has actually changed the way I play the game and I am now doing quick jobs more than the freight and cargo ones...... THANKS!!!

Updated for 1.51

Thanks for updating to 1.50!

Updated for 1.50.

Very good mod, thanks!!

Updated for 1.49. No real changes. The DAF XD was added, but since all quick job configurations include an in-dash GPS, no changes were needed for the new truck.

No worries, thanks for the reply!

CertifiedPyro: It would probably be better to ask the mod author of the truck to add the GPS into the "quickjob" version of the modded truck.

For 2 reasons:

1) The modded truck may OR may NOT include a "quick job" version of that truck. If it does not, then it would have to be created and the GPS added. If they have created a "quick job" version of the truck, then it would be fairly easy for the original mod author to add a windscreen gps for "quick jobs".

2) This mod would quickly become out of date if I had to modify it everytime a "modded" truck is changed. Since I do not use those mods, I would not know when my mod breaks.

Finally this mod is somewhat niche, it only works when you are doing quick jobs. While I am willing to update this mod everytime SCS updates the game, I am not willing to update it everytime someone else updates a modded truck. Sorry

Hi, would it be possible to support modded trucks too (e.g. RJL Scania, Mercedes-Benz Actros MP2/MP3)?

Agr0Bears, which truck?

its not working for me, no gps is added to the truck

Updated for 1.48

NP, glad you got it sorted.

ahh, so the dlc was missing after all. Sorry for the trouble.

I tested with openvr/oculus 1.47 "beta".

Since you changed versions, I would think it would reverify the version as well.

Is your DLC disabled? The only thing I lock out is if you do NOT have the "cabin accessories" DLC, because the mod will not work without cabin accessories.

Maybe you have a mod that changes the default gps in cabin accessories?

so i just tried non beta 1.47 and its still red for me. Shame though, its a very helpful mod

It worked in 1.46 for sure. I am using openvr beta 1.47 maybe thats why.

Did it work for you before? Do you have the required cabin accessories DLC? It is green for me and I am running 1.47, so I am not sure why it would be red.

No I get compatible red. I do use 1.47 game version.

I spot checked a couple trucks and it still seems to work. I did have to "validate" my files and steam fixed some broken files, you might try validate your local files.

Also, is there a specific truck that did not have a gps?

ill check it

no longer compatible as of 2023.07.02

Would be tough for me to do -- this mod is just a configuration change for the "quick job" trucks, it does not really mod the gps itself. This mod just uses the default gps provided by the cabin accessories dlc.

Do you use any other gps mods in VR that have a larger scale?

This is an excellent mod and a feature that should be in the main game. I play in VR and didn't like having to turn the overlay on for quick jobs. This solves the problem, thanks!
Is there any way to create a mod that scales the portable GPS maybe +30%? The speed limit is really hard to read in VR on the portable GPS.

Great! Thx

Updated for 1.47, mod now supports 1.43 through 1.47. Changes were minimal, basically just version number changes, as the "quick job trucks" that needed a portable GPS have not changed from 1.46 to 1.47.

Okay, thank you :)

Yes, I will update for 1.47 in the next couple days. I was away for a few days, but will be updating it soon.

Update for 1.47 planning?

Updated for 1.46, mod now supports 1.43 thru 1.46. Also added multiplayer (convoy) optional flag for versions 1.45 and 1.46. Thanks to Nelle for help with multiplayer optional flag.

I will add mp optional to ETS2 with the 1.46 release, which I suspect is in the next day or so.

This mod is rather unique to me, it's the only "Other" category one I use that does a unique thing unlike things other mods do. I once got a chance to join a convoy with this mod on (and its manifest manually edited) and the session went well, but we had our own trucks already.

By the way this makes the Cabin Accessories DLC essential to me, thanks for making me buy that on ATS without hesitation while I still have a lot to do before I get my first truck there.

Some mods I know that became optional:
AI Traffics https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=627000094
UI https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=718966063

I use some other mods with having their manifest files manually edited to include the optional line, and the category of the mods includes Voice, Interior, Truck (what it actually does is replacing truck interiors, I saw that if you make a mod optional that adds a whole new truck, it will just show as a big transparent green box to other players), and UI.

Nelle, I will look into this, do you have an example of a mod that is optional for MP? I see that it was a new setting for 1.45. Likely I will add this, maybe with the 1.46 update.

It was that way that every participant needs to have all of the same mods, and Optional Mod option was introduced to make that... optional. As long as every mod used by the host is checked optional by the authors, other players can join without needing to match all of the used mods. I am assuming that as long as the mods are not changing how the game works, like physics or traffics, it's okay for a mod to be optional that not everyone in a session is required to use it.

Convoy sessions with quick jobs are possible, and would be what people would do when they just started this game and are lucky enough to have friends who also just started.

Making a mod optional technically is easy, the manifest file needs to have one line that says it's optional. But while I believe this mod won't have problems with that enabled, I am just a random user... it should be the author who makes the decision!

Not sure about convoy sessions (I have never played convoy.). Do convoy sessions use Quick Jobs? As for optional, I am not sure how to make a mod optional. If everyone in a convoy session needs the same mods, than you will probably need to disable it in convoy, if others do not have the mod. If you are using your own truck in convoy, this mod would not benefit you anyways. (It only affects trucks provided through quick jobs.)

I wonder if this can be optional in convoy sessions. Would it not matter when everyone is just bringing their own trucks for other kinds of jobs? What would happen if someone doesn't have this mod and/or the required DLC?

Great mod. Much needed. Thanks.

1.45

Updated for 1.45. No real changes from 1.44. This mod now supports 1.43, 1.44 and 1.45

It is only for quick job trucks. You can easily add a GPS to your "owned" truck with cabin accessories, and cabin accessories is required for this mod.

does it work with my owned truck that doesnt have a GPS? or is it only quick job trucks?

Yes it works with 1.43 and 1.44. The mod will download, but the mod now contains 2 versions in separate archives, one for 1.43 and one for 1.44+. This is a feature of ets2/ats workshop mods that allows mods to automatically configure for the versions supported by the mod maker.
