How does a driver start a trip and share their location
How does a driver start a trip and share their location. A step-by-step walkthrough of the screens, buttons and fields involved.
The steps, written out
- Open Start trip / Share my location in the field app (or Start trip / Share my location in the menu).
- Press the big button. Your phone asks for permission to use your location; allow it. Sharing starts only then.
- A Sharing indicator shows the last time a position was sent. Tick Keep the screen on so the phone keeps reporting.
- Work your stops under My stops today with Depart, Arrived and Complete, the same actions as the driver app.
- Press Stop trip when you are done. A trip also ends by itself after the last stop is delivered, after the maximum trip length, or on a new day.
Tip
If you lose signal, the phone keeps only the latest position and sends it when the connection returns; your Stop is remembered until it reaches the server. If the phone says location permission is off, allow location for the Arkon One page in the phone or browser settings and try again.
