How to navigate

Start turn-by-turn navigation, check in at each stop, and move through your route.

After you order your stops, you drive the route in a simple loop: select a stop → Navigate → Check In → next stop.

RoadWarrior navigation is the default. You can hand off to an external app in settings. See Change your navigation app.

What you see on the map

Once stops are ordered, the map shows:

  • Numbered stops in sequence (1, 2, 3, …)
  • A route line connecting them in that order

Run Optimize or reorder stops first if the sequence still looks wrong. See Optimize and route settings and Manually order stops.

The navigate → check-in loop

  1. Open your route and tap stop #1 (or the next stop you plan to visit).

  2. Tap Navigate to start turn-by-turn directions in RoadWarrior (or your chosen navigation app if you changed the setting).

  3. Drive to the stop. When you arrive, return to RoadWarrior and tap Check In.

  4. Select the next stop and repeat. With Pop Next Stop enabled, the next stop opens automatically after check-in. See Pop Next Stop.

Tips for a smooth run

  • Check in at each stop so your route progress and history stay accurate.
  • Reorder or optimize before you leave if stops were added at the last minute.
  • Stay on RoadWarrior navigation when you need check-ins and proof of delivery captured in the app.
