ROUTE MANAGEMENT

 

The "Route management" screen gives you an overview of the created routes.

Here it is possible to:

§        Check and edit details of the route.

§        Show the selected route on the map.

§        Create a new route.

§        Copy a route.

 

Note that the route settings (TLN profile, avoid toll roads / ferries ...) are saved in the personalised view, NOT in the route itself. As a result, it is possible that the calculated route on the map does not fully correspond to the route in the "Route management" screen.

 

VISUALISATION

 

The screen is divided into three zones:

§        The upper left zone contains the "Route filter".

§        The upper right zone contains the "Route" grid, showing the filter results and the route status:
 

OK: the route has been successfully saved (even without attached vehicles) or sent.

Communication error: an error has occurred while sending the route to one of the vehicles.

Sending: the route is being sent to one of the vehicles.

 

It is always possible to resend a route in case of problems or send a selection of various routes to several vehicles (synchronisation).

 

 

§        The lower zone contains two tab pages with detailed information on the selected route and the vehicles that are assigned to it.

§        "General" tab page

 

Monitored: Select this option if you want the route points to be followed in the exact right order.

Reference: Select this checkbox if you want to label this route as a reference route: the ideal route, for instance as it is was driven by an experienced driver (Cf. Filter_routes).

Magnetic: As from TX-CONNECT version 11.23, routes can be set to "Magnetic" (only for TX-MAX devices). A magnetic route will draw the route calculation in the direction of the magnetic route, rather than directing it directly to one of its route points. (Remark: for TX-SKY devices, all route types are magnetic).

In the route filter on the map, it is possible to filter on these routes.

 

§        "Vehicles" tab page

Symbol when deleting a vehicle from a saved route.

 

 

Show the selected route on the map: The "Map" module will automatically open and visualise the route.

Create a new route: Firstly, you will be asked if you want to copy the currently selected route. The "Map" and the "Route calculation" window will automatically open. Learn more about route calculation.

Save a modified route.

Undo the modifications made to a route. The last saved values are restored.
