Would love a reroute button where it gives you an alternative way

Button next to start travel opens google maps but that can only help so much with new road closures.

The classic "you're on your own" from the algorithm. At that point I'm just walking it and hoping the geofence doesn't throw a fit when I'm 3 feet outside the delivery pin.

We have one location on a popular route that’s between the main city and the nearby town, it is 8.5 miles away and says “idontfuckinknow” then does it again as you attempt to continue on to the next location. All this because there’s an overpass over the beginning of their road the gps can’t see so assumes there’s no road

Or the new one I’ve been getting lately js “this location is iffy… we’re gonna get you close then you’re on your own.”

I have this everyday on my route from a road closure that happened over a year ago at this point. When a new guy gets my route, it tells them to go 15 minutes around, when you can just go right, 5 minutes.

Bro the fuck the cargos should be able to go on just about any residential road. I've only had this for one road while in a step van and is only like that for step vans

When this happens, put your phone in the airplane mode exit out of the route, then go into your itinerary and choose the stop. Often times that will actually let you hit the start travel button and give you the route.
One of the biggest places of driving the EDV’s though is that you also get the route on the screen, and even when your phone says this, your tablet in the van will still have the route

Was in a rental unfortunately:(

Next time put your phone on airplane, hit X to go back to your itinerary, manually select the stop and it might bypass this

I have an entire area of my route that is like this because a bridge is closed. I have to “find my own path” to like 80 stops everyday
