GROUPS
As routes are only seen by the group that you select to share them with, the first thing you need to do is create a group or join someone else’s:
-Groups are easy to create and manage
-Add members to your group from your in-app contact list or via a share link
-Users can share group links but only group controllers can admit members
-In larger groups choose who you want to be a driver (route creator) by giving them driver privilege
-Press the dots next to a group member’s name to add them to your in-app contacts, adjust driver privilege or remove them from your group
-Create or join as many groups as you like
ROUTES
Easily create, share and manage routes:
-Fill out the fields to create a route in seconds
-Group members can create and share routes with other members via route notifications
-Route notifications show the start and end stops, any mid-route stops, a route map, time, date and the driver
-You can allow others to suggest extra stops
-See who you are walking with as others join the route by clicking the members icon in route details
-Accept or decline with one click and a message is auto-sent that you are joining the route or not
-Exit a route to tell everyone on it that you’re not coming so they don’t wait for you
-One-click cancellation lets everyone know the route is no longer going ahead or you can send a route message to ask someone else to be the driver
-When the route ends you can rate it
ROUTE TRACKING
Once route members have gathered, drivers start the route to track their location:
-This tracking shows route progress
-Useful if you are meeting others at a stop along the route or if you want someone to know where you are
-You can end the route to stop tracking any time eg to save your battery
-If you forget we auto-end route tracking for you after a set time
IN-ROUTE MESSAGING
Contact everyone on your route any time without disturbing group members who are not on it:
-In-route messages will be seen by everyone on the route
-Route members receive notifications of new messages
-When the route ends the messages expire
-Please keep all messages civil!
