Setting Up Map Routing

Agencies can enable map routing on the Inspector Application for mobile devices. On the Inspection Tasks page for permits and licenses, inspectors can show routing and optimize the route on the map.

Your agency enables map routing in the Functional Setup Manager and defines the API credential for the map service.

For more information about using map routing on the Inspection Tasks page, see Working with Inspection Routing.

   • Enable map routing using miles to measure distances
