Working with Inspection Routing

The Inspector Application for mobile inspections provides routes between inspections on the map with the current day's tasks.

Enables advanced mapping and route optimization by integrating with the ESRI routing service, providing efficient navigation and streamlined travel paths. For more information about setting up routing on the inspection map, see Setting Up Map Routing.

This example illustrates the routing on a map when the inspector selects the option to show the route. The route calculations are based on the inspector's current location and shown in miles as set up by the agency.

The inspector can use the handle for an inspection to drag and drop it in a different order in the list. When you select the option to show the route, the inspection route is displayed on the map.
