GPS and Map – Your Guides to POIs and Tasks!

[h2]Hello everyone! 👋[/h2]

In today’s devlog, we’re excited to introduce the interactive map and GPS system that will make managing tasks and navigating the city much more convenient. Both key Points of Interest (POIs) and available tasks are now displayed on the map, making it quick and intuitive to plan your next moves.



[h2]How does the map and GPS work?[/h2]
The map in our game serves as the central hub for managing your activities around the city. Here’s what you’ll find:

  • Points of Interest (POIs) – key locations such as:
    • Gas Station – for refueling your vehicles.
    • Parts Shop – to stock up on tools and parts.
    • Workshop – your everyday workspace.
  • Tasks – icons representing missions you can take on, such as picking up a car from a client or delivering a vehicle to a specific location.

Clicking on any marker – whether it’s a POI or a task – will automatically set a route in the GPS, helping you reach your destination with ease.



[h2]Key features of the map and GPS[/h2]
  1. Interactive POI and task markers
    All important locations and tasks are marked on the map, with clear icons that make it easy to find what you’re looking for.
  2. Map filtering
    If you want to see only a specific type of marker, such as tasks or certain POIs, you can enable the appropriate filter. This is perfect for planning when you have multiple errands to run.
  3. Dynamic route planning
    Clicking on a marker automatically plots the shortest route to your destination. The GPS will guide you from your current location, showing the route on the map and the in-game HUD.
  4. Clear distinction between POIs and tasks
    Tasks and POIs are visually differentiated, so you’ll always know if a marker represents a gas station, parts shop, workshop, or a mission you need to complete.

Expanding Your Garage - Upgrades and Progression!

Hey, car dealers and detailing enthusiasts! 🚗🧽


In this episode, we're excited to introduce upgrades to your business. This key feature will make managing your garage even more dynamic and rewarding. Each workstation in your garage - from mechanical repairs to detailing and painting - has a progression system that unlocks better tools, new skills and opportunities to expand your business.

Upgrade your way to success



Starting small, you'll gradually transform basic setups into state-of-the-art workstations. Simple tools evolve into advanced equipment, allowing you to take on bigger jobs, increase efficiency and boost productivity. Each upgrade not only enhances the gameplay, but also keeps your journey fresh and exciting



For example, what starts out as a basic task like washing a car with a pressure washer can evolve into a premium service with waxing, polishing and an additional station to handle higher demand. Each upgrade feels meaningful and allows you to see the results of your investment as your workshop grows.



Why it matters

These upgrades aren't just about tools, they're about building a thriving workshop. Each upgrade will allow you to take on more complex jobs, attract more customers and grow your business into an empire.
We can't wait for you to experience the satisfaction of watching your garage evolve and thrive! Let us know your thoughts on the system and stay tuned for more updates.

Happy Wrenching!
The Dev Team 🚗✨

Car Wash – The Road to a Gleaming Success!

Hey, car dealers and detailing enthusiasts! 🚗🧽


This week, we’re introducing another mechanic that adds even more realism to your business. Washing cars is a crucial step in preparing vehicles for sale. Nobody can resist a shiny exterior, and you’ll see how a car’s appearance impacts its value. Learn how this feature works!

[h2]Car Wash Level 1: Two Cleaning Stages[/h2]

Level 1 car washing involves two simple yet satisfying steps:

[h3]1. Applying Active Foam[/h3]



Grab the pressure washer located behind the garage. Start by covering the car with active foam. With the nozzle in hand, spray the entire vehicle evenly. Make sure to cover every surface thoroughly – the foam needs to reach all areas to effectively remove dirt.

[h3]2. Rinsing[/h3]



After applying the foam, switch the washer to rinse mode and start washing it off. Direct the water stream precisely at the foam and watch the car regain its shine. Remember to rinse every nook and cranny – precision is key to achieving the best results!

[h2]Convenient Tool Switching[/h2]



Thanks to the radial menu, you always have the right tool at your fingertips. Quickly switch between foam and water, making the washing process smooth and intuitive. Every step becomes pure satisfaction.

[h2]Detail Assistance: Scanner[/h2]



Not sure if everything is perfectly clean? Use the scanner to highlight areas that need additional cleaning. This ensures your work is flawless!

[h2]Clean Cars = Higher Value[/h2]

It’s not just about appearance – clean cars are worth more! Dirty exteriors can discourage buyers and lower a vehicle’s market value. With this new washing mechanic, you’ll ensure every car is in perfect condition and maximize your profits.

[h2]This Is Just the Beginning![/h2]

Next week, we’ll show you how to upgrade your car wash to the next level. Unlock new features and tools that will make cleaning cars even more satisfying and efficient. Stay tuned for updates – exciting changes are coming your way! 🚿✨

Get ready to have fun with foam and water – this new mechanic is another step toward perfect fleet management. Remember, cleanliness is the foundation of success in the car trading world!
