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.

The driving lines routes map display helps you visualize route paths.

 

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.

Overlay a Geofences display on your routes map to view defined geofenced areas showing boundaries for specific locations.

 

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.
