How to drive a group tour's pickup route in TourTask Crew

1. 1

   Open the job

   In Calendar, open your job on the tour's first day.

2. 2

   Tap Pickup route

   Tap Pickup route. It shows from 1 hour before the job, when Start tour opens too, or once you have started your tour. While no booking has a lodging or pickup location yet, it is greyed out, and tapping it says so. When your phone asks, allow location while using the app: the route starts from where you are.

A map of your stops, numbered in the order to drive them, with the tour's first stop as a green pin. Under the map:

• Remaining: the distance and time left to drive, and the pickup window.
• Next stop: who to collect there, every booking one under the other with its phone numbers, then the Later stops, shown the same way.
• Not on the map: bookings without a place on the map, and why. Ask your business where to collect them.
• Tour’s first stop: where the route ends.

• At each stop, tap Picked up, or Skip for travellers who don't come. The stops left are then put in order again.
• When you reach the next stop, the app says You are at this stop.
• Marked the wrong stop? Tap Undo under Stops done.
• Your marks stay on your phone for the day, so you can leave the route and come back.

Tap Navigate to drive with the app's own directions, on the same screen: the map turns 3D and follows you, the next turn shows above it, with its distance and the road's name, and a voice says each turn ahead of time, in the app's language. Your stops stay under the map, with their bookings and phone numbers.

• At a stop: mark it Picked up or Skip on its card under the map. A stop you drove past without either shows Not marked yet.
• A wrong turn: the route is calculated again within about 10 seconds, keeping the order of your stops.
• The voice: the speaker button turns it off and on, and your phone remembers your choice.
• Leaving: Exit, or Back, ends the directions. The route stays as it was.

When no driving route can be had, the app orders the stops by straight-line distance and says so. There are no turns to give then, so Navigate opens Google Maps with the stops left. Google Maps takes up to 10 stops at a time: come back and tap Navigate again for the rest, and mark each stop in TourTask Crew.

While you navigate, Open in Google Maps shows when turn-by-turn directions are not available.

The route ends at the tour's first stop: the first stop with a map pin in the tour's itinerary. When the tour has none, a guide or driver of the tour sets it once, for everyone:

1. 1

   Tap Set the first stop

   The route shows Set the first stop while nobody has set it.

2. 2

   Find the place

   Type it in Search for a place, or tap Use my current location and give the stop a name.

3. 3

   Save it

   Tap Save. The route then shows who set it, and Change sets another.
