As electric trucks become more central to modern logistics, the need for smarter, more adaptive route planning is growing rapidly. This paper presents a key navigation feature for analyzing and recalibrating such optimized routes in real time. Integrating map features into the navigation mode improves user experience by offering real-time navigation and dynamic route adjustments based on traffic updates, road closures, vehicle coordinates and deviation in expected energy consumption. This study compares the performance of Server sent events (SSE), web sockets, and Application programming interface (API) polling methodologies, focusing on metrics such as data transmission efficiency, latency, resource utilization, scalability, and reliability. Our results demonstrate the advantages and limitations of each method, providing insights into their suitability for real-time route optimization in electric truck logistics. The results highlight the potential of SSE in achieving efficient and timely data updates, contributing to more effective route planning and resource management. Additionally, we discuss how API Polling, Web sockets, and SSE each make sense in different scenarios when creating a navigation system (drive mode), considering factors such as the frequency of updates, network conditions, and system architecture. This research underscores the importance of choosing the right communication protocol and integrating advanced map features to enhance the performance and reliability of logistics systems.
