Modify drivers' departure and arrival locations

AntsRoute allows users to customise the departure and arrival locations for each driver's routes.

Available departure and arrival location options

Four options are available:

• 🏭 Warehouse or site address (default).
• 🅿️ Location of the vehicle (identical for each day of the week).
• 📍 Custom address (can be customised for each day of the week).
• 🚫 No departure and arrival locations (when optimising routes, AntsRoute will not add a journey between the departure location and the first stop or between the last stop and the arrival location).

By default, the drivers' departure and arrival locations are the warehouse address. If you wish to change this, follow the instructions below.

• Location of the vehicle (identical for each day of the week).
• Custom address (customisable for each day of the week).
• No departure or arrival locations

☝️ Good to know: In the ‘Agenda’ tab, you can see at a glance the departure and arrival locations of each driver, thanks to the icon in the blue circle that marks the start and end of the route. If no departure or arrival location is defined, no blue circle will appear.
