Add Routes to Your Calendar App of Choice

Calendar apps make it easy to keep track of all the tasks, deadlines, and events you need to deal with. The Route4Me Android app allows you to add routes to Google Calendar and other calendar apps. This feature helps you stay up to date and on schedule, and you’ll be able to make your routing initiatives more flexible and efficient.

Add Routes to Third-Party Calendars on your Android Device with Route4Me - the Best Route Planner

When you add a route to your calendar, Route4Me route planner opens Google Calendar by default, provided it’s the only calendar app installed on your Android device. The route is then added to the calendar as an event. The name, date, start time, and end time of the route are synchronized to the calendar from the Route4Me Android app. Please note that the end time of a route is determined by the route’s start time plus the route’s estimated travel time.

Both adding a route to your calendar and making modifications are easy. The best part is that whenever you make a change to a route’s name, start time, or end time on the Route4Me Android app, these changes will be automatically made to the corresponding event in your calendar.

Clear Navigation Data

The Route4Me Android app provides voice-guided navigation through the integrated CoPilot app. But sometimes, technical issues can prevent this feature from functioning properly.

When that happens, the problem can often be fixed by clearing your navigation data. Go to the settings from the Main Menu, navigate to the “Voice Guided Navigation” section, and click the “Clear Navigation Data” button. That’s it.
