The Mapo Driver mapping, which displays the missions of a route, is provided by Open Street Map (Open Source contributor).
The map can be accessed from the route summary (information button represented by an "i") on the screen listing the missions, as well as from the screen showing the details of a mission.
The map displays all the points (markers) of a route. Each marker is linked to a mission status, which updates according to the driver's actions.
You can also see a route (polyline) connecting each of these points. By clicking on one of them, the driver can view:
- the status,
- the client's name,
- the mission's postal address,
- you can click on "Mission details" to switch back to the mission detail page,
- and view the units and quantities transported on the mission.
By clicking on "Mission details", the user will be redirected to the mission detail. This allows them to easily switch between the map and the mission details.
Any changes made to an ongoing route by the manager will trigger an update of the map.
Finally, the lorry marker represents the driver who has activated geolocation in Mapo Driver. This marker follows the driver as long as the map remains open. This display is designed to help the driver better understand, based on their position, which missions they need to complete.

Viewing roads prohibited to HGVs (Heavy Goods Vehicles)
1. Context
Several issues have been raised regarding the use of heavy goods vehicles:
Roads prohibited to HGVs are not always visible.
Restrictions can vary depending on the area.
Route errors can lead to:
Fines
Delays
Complex manoeuvres
Safety risks
The standard app is not sufficient in these specific situations.
2. Activating the feature
The feature is:
Activatable at account level
Available only for customers using heavy goods vehicles.
If the setting is activated:
Drivers on this account have access to it.
It is not visible to others.
3. General operation
Once activated, the driver can:
View the route of their journey.
Display roads prohibited to HGVs within a defined radius.
4. Driver interface
On the route map:
The mission route is visible.
A button (CTA) allows you to activate the display of HGV restrictions.
When the CTA is activated:
Roads prohibited to HGVs are shown visually.
They are marked with red dotted lines
The driver can:
Activate the display
Deactivate the display
This is not enabled by default, but is available on demand.
5. Display radius
Prohibited roads are displayed:
Within a certain radius around the route.
This allows:
The map not to be overloaded.
To stay focused on the operational area.
6. Data source
Routes prohibited to heavy goods vehicles are retrieved via: OSRM (Open Source Routing Machine).
OSRM is an open source routing engine that allows:
Route calculation
Integration of mapping data
Taking specific constraints into account
HGV restrictions therefore come from mapping data integrated into OSRM.
