Managing Location Services on Your iPhone
Route4Me’s iPhone Route Planner aims to make your routing activities more flexible and enable you to easily plan, optimize and navigate complex routes on the go. For the maximum performance of your Route4Me iPhone app make sure that your device has a stable internet connection as well as turned on location services. Enabling the location services on your iPhone allows you to fully benefit from such features as real-time navigation, automatic visitation and departure triggers, precise address geocoding, geofence triggered forms and alerts as well as other features that can be valuable for your business. Route4Me also understands that you and your team members may not always have 100% signal strength and provides the Offline Mode for iOS devices that enables you to perform certain routing activities even when out of signal.

Giving Route4Me App the Permission to Use Your Location
By default, Route4Me’s iPhone Route Planner automatically prompts you to allow access to your location upon the first login or when performing the corresponding activities.
