Share VS Dispatch Routes On iPhone Route Planner App

Route4Me’s iPhone Route Planner is designed to make your routing operations and transactions as fast and flexible as possible, allowing you to plan, optimize, and navigate routes of any complexity on the go, as well as effortlessly manage your entire mobile workforce using only your mobile device. To make sure that you can properly delegate the right tasks to the right people, Route4Me enables you to share your routes and assign your team members to your routes. When you assign a user to a particular route, this route instantly becomes available on the assignee’s Route4Me account and depending on the user’s account-level permissions, this user may be able to only view the assigned route or view and edit the assigned route accordingly. When you share a route with your business partners or coworkers, the receiver of the shared route gets the route’s mini-map and the list of all destinations included into this route, as well as a public link to the route that allows viewing the shared route without the ability to edit it.
