The Routing view shows the sequence of Job Routes 'Legs' for Employees, Equipment and/or Contractors for a specified day. A Leg is classified as the starting point to their destination point.

Route Planning uses Google Maps (as default) in the default Web Browser to help efficiently schedule Jobs and provide directions to employees.

Bing Maps can be assigned as the Default Mapping method by changing the settings in the Routing Tab of the Tools > Options Window.
