GPSBecause the Deliver app runs on a mobile phone, the phone needs to allow location access to the app. This allows the app to track driver movement while the resource is using the app. This is necessary to not only show that the driver arrived at the actual pickup and delivery locations, but also to provide a complete view of the activity via GPS pings. Upon activity completion, click Route Map on the Activity Maintenance page to review the route taken by the resource. The map highlights any unexpected deviations from the route. ParametersThe time and distance between GPS pings are configurable from the Mobile App FastTab on the Parameters form in the Logistics Execution module. You can also turn off GPS to stop the return of GPS data from the app. This is useful when you are using the app with Geotab or another device.
