Residential & Map Only Modes
Residential and Map Only modes share a similar display, presenting stops without a list while offering additional navigation features. In Residential mode, the system has the added ability to auto-complete stops.
Auto Center This feature keeps the driver's location centered on the map as they move. When enabled, the map automatically updates and recenters on the driver's position. If the user manually moves the map, auto-centering may be disabled until reactivated. Auto North This setting ensures that the map is always oriented with north at the top of the screen. When disabled, the map may rotate based on the device's direction or user interaction. Auto Zoom This function adjusts the zoom level dynamically based on the driver's speed or movement. For example, the map may zoom in when stationary or moving slowly and zoom out when traveling at higher speeds to provide a broader view.

The Disposal Entry feature allows drivers to input disposal tickets directly into the system. Additionally, drivers can attach images of the tickets by capturing screenshots, ensuring accurate record-keeping and facilitating efficient processing. Review the setup requirements below. Once a driver submits a disposal entry, it will be available for review in Dispatch under the Disposal column. Permission Requirement: 241 (NavuNav Driver \ Disposal Receipt Entry) Facilities Setup Requirement Pathway: Setup > Operations > Facility Proper Facility setup is essential for drivers to add disposal tickets in NavuNav.

Review Facility Setup documentation here: Facilities Setup The Downtime Entry feature is essential for drivers to accurately record productivity disruptions, such as a flat tire. When a driver logs a downtime entry, it will appear in the Downtime column within the 'Route Data Entry' view in Operations. Additional setup is required to enable this feature. Pathway: Setup > System > Reason Code In Reason Code Setup, assign the Downtime 'Type' to each reason a driver may record while on their route. Create an "Other" downtime reason code for instances not covered by predefined options. In the app, drivers can add notes to specify the reason for the downtime if "Other" was selected. When adding a downtime reason code, set 'Display in Mobile' to "Yes" to make it available in the app. Review Reason Code Setup documentation here: Reason Code Setup The Time Entry (Productivity) feature enables drivers to add and edit time entries for the start and end of their workday, as well as for lunch breaks. These entries are visible in the Productivity view of the Dispatch screen, allowing for accurate tracking of driver hours and activities. The Record Fuel feature allows drivers to log each refueling event directly within the app. To ensure comprehensive tracking, additional settings are available to specify details such as the fuel source and fuel type. Vehicle inspections are captured when a driver first logs into the NavuNav application before starting their route. After their route is complete, the driver can complete a Post Trip inspection using the Vehicle Inspection menu option. After a driver completes and saves either inspection, it will be visible in Dispatch under the Pre Trip and Post Trip columns. To complete a post-trip inspection, follow these steps: Access the Post-Trip Inspection: Inspect Each Item: Sign and Save the Inspection: The Set Lunch Start Time setting allows for quick logging of a driver's lunch start and end times. Once logged, the lunch times will appear in Dispatch under the "Lunch Start" and "Lunch End" columns in the Labor Hours and Route Data Entry views. Start Lunch and End Lunch After a driver logs their start time, a "Lunch in Progress" message will appear at the bottom of their app, allowing the driver to navigate away from the Lunch Start Time screen. Once lunch is started, the app will update the menu drop down to display "Set Lunch End Time," allowing the driver to select it when ready to end their lunch. Edit Lunch Time Log Once a driver has logged their lunch time, the option will no longer appear in the app menu. If a correction is needed, it can be made through the "Time Entry" menu option. The Clock Out feature records the end time of the driver's shift and captures the truck's odometer reading at that time. This functionality ensures accurate tracking of driving hours and mileage. The Request Remote Support feature provides drivers the ability to share their screen with support staff to assist in resolving an issue the driver may be experiencing on their device. Upon selection, a remote support code is generated for the driver to share with their support staff. Full details on the screen share process can be reviewed here: Create or Join a Screen Share Session Selecting the Reconfigure Printer option in NavuNav initiates a process to update your printer settings. To ensure that labels can be printed correctly, it is necessary to exit and restart the NavuNav application after reconfiguring the printer. The Sync Status feature ensures that all transaction statuses are retained on the device for one week. If the driver's tablet loses connection, transactions are queued locally and synchronized once the connection is restored. Successfully synced transactions will display a success icon, while failed syncs will be marked with a queued icon.
