Application Setup - Map
The Map tab is split into two cards: General (the company address) and Route (routing defaults).
General
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Company address | The primary address. Used as the default location on the map. |
| Company address country | The primary address' country. |
With a Basic Map license, a Verify address button appears once both fields are filled in. Clicking it geocodes the address and stores the resulting latitude/longitude on the tenant; once verified the coordinates replace the button.
Route
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Calculate route and travel time | Activate automatic route calculation on the map. A route is calculated between all selected tasks and appointments. |
| Unit of distance | Select the unit in which the calculated distance is displayed on the map. Options: Kilometer, Mile. |
| Route profile | The vehicle profile used for route, distance and travel time calculation. Options: Car, Van, Truck, Motorcycle, Bicycle, Pedestrian. |
| Show waypoints | Show the route selection sequence by displaying a number in the pins on the map. |
The map has many features, configurable at several levels. Application setup sets the defaults, but users can override these on their own profile:
- Calculate route and travel time
- Unit of distance
- Route profile
- Show waypoints
The best way to understand this multi-layered configuration mechanism is via the following graph:
Like the above image suggests, the different levels are cascading. The application setup provides the default configuration but can be overridden by users on the user profile level and ultimately on the map itself.
