How to Require GPS in Nextstop 3
This content may be outdated as newer versions of our Driver App (Nextstop 3) are available. See Driver App for current documentation.
Require GPS to allow drivers to see new and existing jobs, but not proceed through their workflow or confirm new work until their GPS/Location Services is enabled. Dispatchers in X Dispatch will see a pop-up warning when attempting to dispatch orders or routes to drivers that require GPS, but have GPS disabled on their device.
Where to Setup in X Dispatch
In X Dispatch go to Maintenance > Mobile Option Sets to add the requirement to a mobile option set for a group of users, or Maintenance > Mobile Users to add the requirement to a specific driver.
Select the mobile option set or mobile user for the driver(s) you would like to require GPS.
Under GPS Interval check GPS Required.
Warning in X Dispatch
When a route or order is dispatched to a driver that had the “GPS Required” mobile option set enabled and the GPS is disabled on their device, a warning will pop up to warn dispatchers.
In Nextstop with GPS Required and GPS/Location Service Disabled
