GPS Routing Point

What is a GPS Routing Point?

A GPS Routing Point is a specific spot on the map that turn-by-turn directions use as the destination. Instead of navigating to the center of a geofence, drivers are directed to the exact point you choose—for example, a gate or entrance.

Why use it?

When a location covers a large area (e.g., a plant or job site), the “center” of the geofence may be in the middle of a building or lot. Setting a Routing Point lets you navigate drivers to the right place, such as the main entrance for a job site.

Where can I set a Routing Point?

You can set a GPS Routing Point on:

• Points
• Job sites

Use the map to access the setting modal when creating or editing the point or job site:

 

How do I create or change a GPS Routing Point?

1. Open the create or edit screen for the point or job site (e.g., Point edit modal).
2. In the map controls, click the marker (pin) button.
3. Click on the map where you want drivers to be directed. A blue pin appears at that spot—that’s your Routing Point.
4. To remove the Routing Point, click “Clear Routing Point.”

Example:

If the Point is for a plant, you might put the blue pin at the entrance. Trucks routed to this plant will get directions to that entrance (e.g., 41.80101, -88.11322), not to the center of the plant’s area (e.g., 41.80109, -88.11182).

Where do I see a Routing Point?

After you add a Routing Point, it appears in a few places:

• On the map – When you select a point or job, the blue pin shows the Routing Point.
   

  

• In the slideout – When you select a point or job, the slideout shows details for that location, including its GPS Routing Point.

Good to know

• Navigation only – The Routing Point is used only for turn-by-turn navigation. Other features (e.g., status updates, arrival/departure) still use the location’s geofence.
• The pin can be outside the location’s radius/geofence, if that’s where you want drivers to go (e.g., a gate just outside the lot).
• One pin per location – Each point or job site can have only one Routing Point. To change it, edit the location and move or clear the pin.
