Driver settings and the mobile viewCopy link

A shared route link opens the driver's mobile view in the phone's web browser. There is nothing to install. This page covers the mobile view's Settings screen.

No install requiredCopy link

Drivers tap the link and sign in once. There is no app store download and no rollout. The driver's route view describes what opens.

Automatic updates

The driver's mobile view checks for new versions itself. When one is ready, the driver sees the prompt "Application update is available". Confirming the prompt applies the update.

SettingsCopy link

The gear icon in the top corner of the Routes list (and of any open route) opens Settings.

Navigation app controls which app the Open map and Navigate buttons on stop cards hand off to:

OptionWhat it does
AutomaticApple Maps on iOS, Google Maps elsewhere
Google MapsAlways Google Maps
Apple MapsAlways Apple Maps
WazeAlways Waze

Each phone stores its own setting, so one driver can run Waze while another stays on Google Maps.

AccountCopy link

Account shows who is signed in: the driver's name, email, and data region. Access checks run against the email shown here. When a driver reports "You don't have access to this route", compare this email with the allow-list in your share dialog. For what the data region means, see Privacy and data handling.

Log out signs the driver out, with a confirmation tap. Signing in with a different email switches accounts, for example from a personal address to the one the planner allow-listed.
