FAQ

What is TruxMap?

TruxMap is a live map of all the roaming food trucks in the city. Once a food truck has scheduled a stop through its Twitter account or one of our interfaces, a marker of theirs will automatically be generated on TruxMap.

How does it work?

Our data is automatically generated from a variety of different sources including Twitter and then compiled in various easy-to-read interfaces.

Are the food trucks guaranteed to be where you have them plotted?

No. Whatever is said in the Twitter feed is the final word. That's why we suggest you click the "Show Recent Tweets" link in order to reveal the latest information about the food truck. The app has been throroughly tested, however, it is not flawless. For this reason, we ask that you use common sense before driving to Nova Scotia to track down a Los Angeles food truck.

Why does the location on the map not match what I see in the tweet?

When the geocoding service can't find a particular address, it will place the marker next to City Hall. For Los angeles, this is Downtown on 1st and Main. If you see that a food truck is parked near City Hall, be a little skeptical.

Note: TruxMap is designed to be viewed with Google Chrome. It'll work fine with other browsers as well.
