What it is

The map turns the day's list into routes. It is the fastest way to spot a visit that is out of the way.

1 Open the map

  1. Open Schedule and click Map (or Today's route under Schedule in the menu).
  2. Each person has a card with their visits in order, the distance and the driving time.
  3. Use the arrows or Today to change the day. Today, the map also shows where your team is.

Visits without an address are listed but can't be placed on the map.

2 Make the routes shorter

  1. When a better order exists, the card shows how much time it saves. Click Preview to see it on the map.
  2. Click Optimize routes to rework everyone's day, then Apply new times.
  3. Check Tell clients about their new time if you want them to get a message.

Only people with access to routes and to edit the schedule can apply new times.

3 Start and directions

  1. Click Change start point to set where a person starts the day.
  2. Click Google Maps to open the whole route for driving.

Common questions

Are distances exact?

They are estimates. Google Maps gives the exact turn-by-turn route.
