Default Navigation AppWhen you start navigation, the respective route stop will be automatically sent to the selected Default Navigation App: Route4Me’s In-App Navigation, Google Maps, HERE WeGo, CoPilot GPS, Waze, Uber, etc. For the most optimal and accurate navigation directions and experience, we recommend using Route4Me’s In-App Navigation.
Route ViewChange between standard tabular and visually immersive route view modes.
Navigation PrecisionSelect whether navigation should be based on destination coordinates or street address.
In-App Navigation ModeSingle Stop Navigation” allows you to navigate to one stop at a time. “Continuous Route Navigation” allows you to navigate the entire multi-stop route without closing navigation.
Distance UnitsSelect the preferred distance unit: “miles” or “kilometers“. The selected unit will be used in the in-app navigation and all other app interfaces.

 

Single Destination Vs Continuous Route Navigation

The image below shows the difference between navigation modes. Specifically, “Single Destination Navigation” is used to navigate to one location, and navigation closes once you’ve arrived.

With “Continuous Route Navigation“, the whole route is visible in the navigation interface, and it remains open after arriving at and completing destinations.
