FieldBuddy Swift can display routes between Work Orders in a full screen map view. Displayed locations are the locations between multiple work orders of a specific day.

Routes are drawn and calculated between your location, and the <u>ordered</u> locations of work orders.

**Routes are calculated greedily. **This means that all routes of the selected day are calculated before they are shown to the user, instead of calculating them when you swipe to the route.

The starting time of the work orders determines the order routes are displayed.

The first location always corresponds to user position.

---

Example:

- Route 1: User’s location → Location of the work order #1 (first work order of the selected day)
- Route 2: Location of the work order #1 → Location of the work order #2
- Route 3: Location of the work order #2 → Location of the work order #3
- …
- Route #N: Location of the work order #(N - 1) → Location of the work order #N

---

In this screen, distance and duration of route is also displayed.

These information are traffic-sensitive, so route between two specific location may change between different hours of day depending on traffic conditions.

The delays related to traffic congestion are shown in parantheses next to duration.

Length of the lines between the locations are proportional to the duration it takes to drive to them.

Callouts display:

- The name of the account linked to the work order,
- The location of the work order,
- The start time and the end time of the work order.

Routes to closed work orders are by default not shown in this screen.
