GPS Tracking

The Routing view shows the sequence of Job Route ‘Legs’ for Employees, Equipment and/or Subcontractors for a specified day. A Leg is classified as the starting point to their destination point.

Bing Maps can be assigned as the Default Mapping method by changing the settings in the Routing Tab of the Tools > Options Window. Bing Maps uses the Routing View to display their Map and will not open in a separate Web Browser window.
