🛠️Updates and Improvements:

Driver App GPS Accuracy Improvements

We've made several improvements to GPS tracking in the Driver App to help reduce instances where bookings record a distance of 0 km and to improve the overall accuracy of distance calculations.

Improved Distance Tracking

• GPS locations are now captured more frequently during a journey, resulting in more accurate distance calculations.
• Additional location points are recorded around road curves and turns, improving route accuracy.
• Enhanced motion detection helps ensure GPS tracking remains active throughout the entire journey, including at highway speeds.

Better Tracking While Stopped

• The Driver App now records location updates more frequently when a vehicle is stationary, helping maintain accurate journey data during pickups and drop-offs.

Driver Action Required

To support these improvements, the Driver App requires access to motion and activity permissions on mobile devices.

iPhone (iOS)

For drivers who have previously denied this permission:

• The app will prompt for access when starting their first journey after updating.
• If the prompt does not appear, enable the permission manually by going to: Settings → Privacy & Security → Motion & Fitness → Trips

Android

No action required

• This permission is required to ensure accurate location tracking during journeys.

Verification Page Update

• Actual Distance, Odometer and Dead Running values are now stored and displayed with decimal precision rather than being rounded to whole kilometres, providing greater accuracy when reviewing completed trips.
