Trip mode helps you follow your route more efficiently by

  • highlighting your next activity and the route to it,

  • placing relevant action buttons on the Activity panel at the bottom of the screen,

  • allowing you to re-build your route from your current location, thus updating your expected time of arrival at all your unvisited activities,

  • allowing you to mark your current activity as visited, thus removing it from your current route and rebuilding your route from your current location to your next stop.

Activating the trip mode

The Trip mode is activated

  1. by clicking the SAVE & GO! button after you built your route:

2. or by clicking the GO! button when you open a saved route
​

When the Trip mode is active, Mapsly hides the Route pane, search bar, and table view and shows the Activity panel with your next stop. You may switch between activities using the left arrow and right arrow buttons:

Exiting the Trip mode

To deactivate the Trip mode:

  • press Exit trip mode on the Activity panel

    OR

  • press EXIT TRIP MODE on the Route pane

Exiting the Trip mode will hide the Activity panel, show the search bar and the table view again and restore the full route with all activities on the Route panel, including those you previously marked as visited while in the Trip mode. Visited activities are displayed with a tiny green check-mark ✅.

Actions on the Activity panel

Refresh

You may have different preferred navigation apps on different devices, and - once selected - they can be changed in the Traveling preferences.

Mark as visited

Custom buttons

If your Mapsly administrator added buttons, like Check In and Check Out, to the Activity panel and made them visible to your user profile, you'll see them here and can press them to follow the process set up by the administrator.

View record

Exit trip mode / Finish trip

Exit trip mode, or Finish trip for the finish location, exits the trip mode, hides the Activity panel, shows the search bar and the table view again, and restores the entire route with all activities on the Route pane.

How to re-start Trip mode

To re-enter the Trip mode after you exited it, click GO! on the Route panel if the trip still has unvisited activities.
