1. Click Routes in the sidebar

Open the Routes page from the left sidebar. Live tech tracking lives right on your route map — there's no separate screen to check throughout the day.

Click Routes in the sidebar

2. See the live tech indicator pill

At the top right of the map you'll see a live indicator pill. The green dot means at least one tech is actively tracking, and the number shows how many people are out on routes right now.

3. Open the live techs panel

Click the pill to open the live techs panel. Each tech appears with their initials, how long ago they last pinged, and which route they're running today.

4. Click a tech to pan to their location

Click a tech and the map pans right to them. You'll see a colored marker where they are and a dashed blue breadcrumb trail tracing everywhere they've been on today's route. It's the answer to "was Mike actually at the Hendersons at 10am?"
