Map Types – View Routes In Classic Or Satellite Mode
The base view of the map can be adjusted to match your planning needs. To select a Map Type, click the Gear Icon.
The Classic Map provides a standard road network view for navigation while Satellite View offers aerial imagery of landmarks, terrain, and property layouts, all helping to improve situational awareness and route visualization.
Route Display Settings – Customize How Routes Appear On The Map
Use Route Display settings, accessed via the Gear Icon in the upper-left corner, to customize how routes and destinations appear on the map. Display settings can be combined or used individually to suit your workflow and make route review more efficient.
Driving Lines Display – Directions Path Vs. Straight-Line Path
Driving Lines visually connect destinations on the map using either a directions-based path, a straight-line path, or both overlaid together. These views help you understand the actual road route, compare direct distances, and evaluate route efficiency.
Geofences Display – Visual Boundaries For Route Locations
The Geofences feature overlays geofence boundaries directly on the map, allowing you to see exactly where each geofenced area is located. This provides a clear visual reference for route planning and monitoring arrivals or departures.
ETA Display – Estimated Arrivals And Departures
You can display estimated arrival and departure times for each destination, along with additional travel time details. This helps you quickly spot early or late stops and assess overall schedule feasibility at a glance.
Route Notes Display – View Destination Annotations On The Map
Route Notes display directly on the map important instructions or annotations associated with destinations. Having this information immediately visible ensures critical route details are not overlooked.
Map Layers – Overlay Locations, Vehicles, Facilities, And More
Map Layers, accessed via the Gear Icon, overlay contextual and operational data on the map, including locations, orders, vehicles, and other critical elements. You can select one or multiple layers depending on your needs.
Facilities Layer – Route Depot Information And Coordinates
The Facilities layer shows depot locations as markers on the map, each displaying a Facility name label next to its Icon. To show or hide these labels, check or uncheck the “Labels” checkbox.
You can select, deselect, or search for specific facilities. Filter by “Facility Type” to narrow which appear on the map, or by “Status” to show only Active or Archived facilities. Hover over any Facility Icon to view its details.
When the “Completed Routes” checkbox is enabled, Facilities are displayed on the map alongside color-coded progress bars which illustrate the route’s completion status.
You can filter how progress bars are displayed by metric type: “Completed Routes“, “Visited Destinations“, “Out of Sequence Visits“, or “Completed Orders“.
Locations Layer – Clustering And Heat Maps
The Locations layer lets you view location clusters, a density heat map, or both to see where routes are concentrated. Clustering activates automatically for large datasets, with the heat map highlighting high-density areas to help you identify patterns.
Orders Layer – Visualize Distribution Across Routes
The Orders layer displays individual order locations or clusters of orders to visualize distribution across routes and destinations. This provides insight into workload distribution and supports more efficient route management.
Vehicles Layer – Track Vehicles On The Route Map
The Vehicles layer helps you track vehicles. Enable “Labels” to display a pop-up with each vehicle’s Alias. Enable “Fuel / Battery” to displays a progress bar showing each Vehicles’ current fuel and battery-related details.
Use the “Search Vehicles” field to filter which Vehicles appear on the map.
You can also select “Active Vehicles” to filter Vehicles based on their last update time. Hover over any Vehicle Icon to see exactly when a Vehicle was last updated along with other key metrics.
Users Layer – Monitor Assigned Team Members
The Users layer displays assigned Users or Drivers on the map. You can search for specific Users you would like to display on the map, improving visibility into workforce allocation and route assignments.
You can also click “Labels” to display on the map a pop up showing the Users name and last update.
Assets Layer – View And Filter Asset Locations
The Assets layer displays Asset icons on the map, showing you where your Assets are located. Enable the “Labels” checkbox to show each Asset’s name next to its icon on the map.
From the Assets menu, select, deselect, or search for specific assets. Filter by “Type” to narrow visible Assets by category, or by “Asset Origin” to show Internal, External, or All Assets.

Avoidance Zones Layer – Ensure Compliance And Safety
The Avoidance Zones layer displays all defined restricted areas. From the Avoidance Zones menu, you can select, deselect, or search for specific zones, ensuring that routes comply with operational or regulatory constraints.
Live Traffic Layer – Identify Congestion And Delays
The Traffic layer overlays current traffic conditions on the map. This helps you identify congestion and adjust route planning to minimize delays and improve on-time performance.
Weather Layer – Radar, Storms, And Temperatures
The Weather display overlays one or multiple weather-related displays on the map. View radar or satellite imagery, monitor wind patterns, track storms, see snow coverage, and display temperature to anticipate how weather will impact routes.
