It's all about the Cascadia
Updated review 12/15/17: I saw DTNA updated the app so I bought a Blue-Link Mini with the hope that it would be useful. Not so much for my truck and it is still very focused on the Cascadia. Vehicle guides are only available for Cascadias. The Maintenance schedule is not available for my truck. I don't see the notes feature. Manuals are only available for the Cascadia. Trip information can't be reset. Inactive fault codes can't be cleared. Information about the truck is only available as a snapshot. There isn't any real time information like oil pressure, turbo boost pressure or fuel economy. I gave the app an additional star because DTNA continues to update the app. I hope it can address some of the items I listed above. By the way, I wouldn't think 46 fault codes is a positive selling point. Original review: I'm not sure how DTNA is trying to position this product. Maybe it's just a token attempt at putting an app out. I found their TruckerNet app more useful since I don't own a Cascadia which is the current app's focus. No help for owners of Freightliner Argosy, Century, Classic, Columbia, Coronado, FLD trucks or Western Star trucks that you couldn't get more effectively using a map app. I've never seen the hardware/software combination advertised at a Freightliner location where you might expect to see the NEXIQ Blue-Link Mini on a parts counter to encourage impulse buying. I don't own a Rand McNally ELD 50, but I find it amazing that a map/GPS company offers an app that, in addition to E-logs, provides an E-gauge package before the truck manufacturers do.
