    Ugh... not sure what I was seeing or not seeing nor how I was interpreting it but ya, just that simple... lol

    thanks

    I DO LIKE just how easy it is to switch between map view for general navigation between points and satellite view to see what the heck I’m getting into before I arrive... one of the biggest missing pieces on my RM... it works great, for me, but I then have to jump to my maps app on my iPhone/iPad to see the satellite view of any area.

    So that eliminates a major friction point!!!
     
    Bridgette HAMMER Thanks this.

    It might be too specific a use case to get too high on the To Do list of Requested Features...

    But...

    I could totally see using this App on both my iPhone and iPad in different ways... Apple has a structure where apps can share data between devices.

    Would be nice if the address book could be shared and synced using this shared data feature.

    Access to ones Contacts might be another source of addresses to be used when creating routes.

    just a suggestion or two... thanks

    @MidWest_MacDaddy Were you able to add multiple stops now? I just want to make sure that was resolved for you. Satellite view is one of our favorite features as well but we are glad it's popular with drivers :)
     
    MidWest_MacDaddy Thanks this.

    Yes, just as simple as hitting the “+” button... no clue what I was seeing or not seeing before.

    simple driver error

    thanks.

    Got another probably “missing something simple” issue... Favorites... I see where there is a feature to have a list of favorites but not seeing how/where to save an address to this list.

    I see the option to save a route, but not how to save to favorites to be used again later.

    thanks in advance.
     
    Bridgette HAMMER Thanks this.

    @MidWest_MacDaddy We offer two different options. You can save a route and then you can save a favorite point of interest.

    In order to save a route:

    1. Tap on New Route
    2. Enter in your starting address and destination address
    3. Tap on calculate route
    4. Tap on Save
    5. Name your route
    6. Tap on Confirm
    7. This will save your route under "Saved Routes"
    To add a point of interest to your "Favorites" to be easily accessible and able to route to:

    1. Tap on View
    2. Enable which POI you would like to see on map
    3. Tap on DONE
    4. Tap on the icon for the POI
    5. Tap on Save
    6. Name your favorite
    7. This will saved under the "Favorite" option in the menu
    Hope this helps :) Please let us know if you have any other questions and do not hesitate to reach out to us.

    So one can only save a POI as a Favorite?

    And not even a random point of interest that shows on the map view but only ones that are in the Apps list of Point of Interests?

    While, I guess, that could be useful to save your favorite truck stops, I want to save my Company Yards and our Major Customers Addresses so I can just grab them from my “Favorites” instead of manually entering them each time I need to route to them.

    am I missing something?

    @MidWest_MacDaddy As of right now, you can only save a POI as a favorite. We are currently working on allowing drivers to save any location as a favorite. It is definitely coming in the future. To save your Company Yard location, for now, will need to be as a "Saved Route". Thanks!

    Is there going to be any off-road features for lease roads and allow us to save routes that we drive off the public roads?
