Using Offline Mode on Route4Me’s Android Route Planner App
Route4Me’s Android Route Planner Offline Mode enables you to seamlessly continue navigating and completing loaded routes with an unstable internet connection. First, make sure that you have the route you want to complete offline, opened, and loaded. To do so, when you have an internet connection, go to “Routes” in the app’s navigation menu and then open the preferred route. Accordingly, the app will automatically load the opened route.
After loading the route, you can start the route, navigate to its stops, collect proof of visit, delivery, or service, etc. Accordingly, when you lose internet connection, you can keep navigating and completing the route. Once your internet connection is restored, the app will automatically synchronize with the servers all route data and route activities completed when offline. Further, you can learn more about the features you can use on Route4Me’s Android Route Planning app when offline.
