Map view
The map is particularly useful in the early stages of adoption: it shows where each person moves during the day and how the Location’s work is divided geographically.
What the map shows
Section titled “What the map shows”On the map you:
- see where each person moves during the day
- get a sense of the driving distances and the workers’ starting points, areas, and end points
- get an overall picture of how the Location’s work is divided among workers
Showing tasks on the map
Section titled “Showing tasks on the map”On the right-hand side of the map view you can choose the workers whose schedules you want to see on the map. You can also choose schedules from several days for one or more workers.
A worker’s tasks open in a side panel by clicking the home icon at the worker’s starting point. In the side panel you can choose whether the route is shown along roads or as the crow flies.

Section titled “Moving a task from the map”You can drag a worker’s tasks to a different point of the day in the side panel. This is a quick way to move an individual task so that it happens at the desired time on that day.

Section titled “Pickup and delivery on the route”A transport job is two tasks — a pickup and a delivery — and both appear as separate stops on the map and in the calendar, distinguished from each other in the calendar. This matters when the pickup point is not your own terminal: the driver can see they must drive to the collection point first, then on to the delivery address.
