GPS apps are helpful for people in our business.

With so many apps in the market , what’s the best GPS app to help you and your dispatchers? We have taken a look at the apps that we use in the provider portal and heres what we learned.

Waze

Waze is the best on the market for avoiding traffic. It offers the step-by-step instructions of all driving directions apps, but with a focus on finding the best possible route and avoiding traffic, potholes, police, and more as much as possible. The app outlines the quickest route and highlights road blockages, accidents, stopped cars, and more along the way.

Google Maps

It’s probably already your go-to for checking directions and driving time on your computer, but Google Maps has an equally good navigation app for driving, walking, biking, and transit directions. The app offers real-time traffic updates, plus ways of finding restaurants and activities (with reviews).
