When you create a route, the system calculates the Fastest route by default. If you prefer a different option, you can generate alternative routes. Depending on the route, this may include an Economy route or up to two other alternatives:
Generate and choose alternatives
Click Find alternative routes at the bottom of the route:
Wait for the alternatives to be generated. When they are ready, the Alternative routes panel opens. If it does not open, click View alternatives:
Choose an alternative.
Click Apply route:
Confirm with Yes, apply:
The alternative route is applied, and the route’s totals change to match it. To choose another one, click View alternatives again:
If the route was already sent to the driver, it shows Send to driver again; send it so the driver gets the new route. See “How to send a route with tasks to a driver”.
Note: Alternatives are available for routes on a vehicle that have at least two tasks and have not started yet. Routes in the Pool have no alternatives.
