Troubleshooting: GPS and Tracking Issues

Known Issue: "Show Driver Path" Displays Limited GPS Data

  • Some routes may show only a few registered locations instead of the usual detailed path.

  • Primarily affects Android users on version 2.36.6.

  • To ensure accurate tracking, drivers should keep the app active in the foreground whenever possible.

  • If using an Android device, ensure battery optimization settings do not restrict GPS tracking. Refer to Don’t Kill My App! for device-specific solutions.

Driver Appears Offline When App is Minimized

  • On some Android and iOS devices, when the Driver App is moved to the background, the driver appears offline.

  • Some Android phone manufacturers restrict background apps to conserve battery life.

  • To prevent this, allow background activity for the app in device settings:

    Android: Go to Settings > Apps > Mover Driver App > Battery > Set to Unrestricted.

    iOS: Go to Settings > Mover Driver App > Enable Background App Refresh.


Additional Recommendations

  • Always keep the Driver App updated to benefit from the latest bug fixes and improvements.

  • Ensure GPS and location services are set to "Always On" for continuous tracking.

  • If persistent issues occur, report them via the Help & Support section in the app.

By following these steps, users can improve app performance and minimize disruptions to their delivery workflow.
