Using the Overlays

Overlays let you customize what you see on the map. You can turn on one or more overlays to view:

  • Vehicles and employees
  • Customers and jobs
  • Traffic conditions
  • Geofences

View Vehicles and Employees

To see both vehicles and employees on the map:

  1. Make sure Vehicle and Employee overlays are both checked.
  2. If the vehicle has a GPS tracking device, you’ll see its location next to the employee’s.
  3. Vehicles are tracked separately from employees.

View Customers and Jobs

  1. Turn on the Address Book overlay to see your customers on the map.
  2. Turn on the Jobs overlay to view scheduled jobs.
    • Note: Only jobs scheduled in the Scheduler Timesheet will appear.
  3. Click on a customer or job icon to see more details.

Find Nearby Customers

To find customers near a specific employee or vehicle:

  1. Turn on the Employee or Vehicle overlay (or both).
  2. Then, turn on the Address Book overlay.
  3. The map will highlight customers closest to the selected employee or vehicle.

View Live Traffic

  1. Check the Traffic overlay to see current road conditions.
    • Colored lines show live traffic flow and any construction or road closures (powered by Google Maps).
  2. This helps you plan faster and smarter routes for your team.

Tip: Use the Traffic overlay with employees and vehicles to see traffic in their area and avoid delays.

Combine Overlays

You can turn on multiple overlays at once to get a full picture on the map. For example:

  • Jobs + Vehicles + Employees → See job locations along with the assigned team.
  • Geofences + Address Book → See customer locations along with defined zones.
  • Mix and match any overlays you need—they all work together.
