In order for the user to be able to create routes:

  3. If necessary, select the route colour.
  4. If necessary, add a description.
  5. Add the check points of the route in one of the ways described below
  6. Select the routing source.
  7. If necessary, enable the route optimization.
  8. Click Save.

o see the created route on the map, click on its name in the list. It is advisable to visually evaluate the route because after adding schedules, you cannot change the sequence of route points, as well as add or remove points. To make these changes, you should create a copy of the route. At the same time, you should recreate schedules and rides.

Adding check points

The following ways of adding check points are available:

ActionDescription
Add check points from map

To add points, follow these steps:

  1. Click Add check points from map.

  2. Select the address source.
  3. Start entering the required address (see more about the Address tool) and select it from the drop-down list or specify the required address by double-clicking on the map.
  4. In necessary, change the address name in the Address field. After saving the point, this action is not available. If there are available geofences at the specified address, they are listed below the Address field.
  5. Click Add as check point.
Add check points from geofences

To add points, follow these steps:

  1. Click Add check points from geofences.

  2. Select the required geofence in the list. There is a dynamic filter above the geofence list. To the left of the geofence name, you can see its type indicated using the following icons:
    • : circle;
    • : polygon;
    • : line.

To center the map on the geofence, click on the  icon in its row. The geofence is shown only if it is selected on the Geofences tab.

Copies of the selected geofences are used as points. Editing the original geofences doesn't affect the created route.

Add check points from units

You can select a moving unit as a check point of the route. In this case, the point doesn't have specific coordinates and is considered visited when the unit approaches it within the specified radius.

To add points, follow these steps:

  1. Click Add check points from units.

  2. Select the required unit in the list. There is a dynamic filter above the unit list. To center the map on the unit, click on the  icon in its row. The unit is shown only if it is selected on the Units tab.

When a unit selected as a check point is deleted, it is automatically deleted from the route.

After adding points, you can change their sequence using the icon . For points added using the map and from the unit list, you can additionally specify the radius. In points added using geofences, the shape and size of geofences are taken into account instead of the radius.

Optimizing routes

Optimization is available if the route has more than two points.

Before saving the route, you can optimize it to determine the most suitable order to go through all the added points. For example, this feature can be useful when creating routes for courier services.

The default map source used for route optimization is Gurtam Maps. However, you can select other sources: Google, HERE, Yandex, Sygic, Trimble.

To optimize the route, select the map source and click Optimize. After that, you can see the route length before and after the optimization.

To return to the original route, click Cancel.

You can also use the Routing tool for creating routes.
