Pet Sitter Plus allows each staff member to set their own preferred maps application for navigating to client visits. Rather than being limited to one mapping app for the whole business, staff can choose the option they're most comfortable using directly from their Preferences. After a Default Mapping Solution has been selected, it will open automatically wherever a location address is accessed in the Staff Dashboard 

Tip: This is a personal preference setting. Each staff member can choose the map app that suits them best without affecting what other staff members see or use.

What is the Default Mapping Solution?

The Default Mapping Solution is a personal preference setting found in each staff member's Profile. It determines which maps application opens when a staff member navigates to a client's address for a visit.

Available options are:

• Default – uses the standard mapping behaviour built into Pet Sitter Plus (Google Maps)
• Google Maps
• Apple Maps
• Waze

From within the Client Profile, Admins and Staff will see a link to the Clients Address using their preferred map solution.

Your default map solution will then open the clients location address
