Radar

A location-aware amenity finder for life on the road. Fuel, toilets, parking, vet, pub, wherever you are.

Sensa Radar replaces the endless “nearest X to me” searches that come with life on the road. We include Radar Pro as part of our navigation module inside our Nomad product. Nomad uses the GPS feature on your Teltonika router to power the navigation. However not everyone has a Teltonika router and we thought it may be useful as a standalone app for web and mobile, so we have released a standalone app too.

Accounts and privacy

Radar can be used without a Sensa account. Without one, your preferences live in your browser. With one, they sync across web and mobile. Coordinates aren’t stored permanently, only your last-used location, in-session, for refresh.

What it does

  • Nearest view. One result per category, grouped and reorderable. Star the ones that matter to pin them to the top.
  • Drill down. Tap any category to see every result in your radius, filterable by data source.
  • Upcoming hazards. When you’re moving, Radar watches a cone ahead of you and warns you about restrictions in your path before you reach them.
  • Curated UK data. Toilets, fuel prices, EV chargers, ATMs, NHS pharmacies and dentists, MOT centres, libraries, bathing waters, parks and more come from authoritative open sources, not scraped from a single map provider.
  • Vehicle-aware hazards. Low bridges, weight limits, narrow lanes and active flood warnings rendered as their own map layers. Set your vehicle profile once; Radar only flags the hazards that actually block you. (Premium only)
  • Vehicle-aware routing. Plan a route that already avoids the hazards your van can’t clear — no separate truck-routing subscription required. (Premium only)
