Route names, smarter maps, and reliability fixes — 9 Oct 2026
What's new
- Auto-generated route names. Routes now automatically get a name derived from their stop sequence. A review flow — with an amber indicator, a "Names to review" filter, and accept/dismiss controls — lets you confirm or skip each suggestion at your own pace.
- Route number column. The routes list now shows a dedicated, sortable No. column driven by the route's numeric identifier. Route detail panels and map labels use the same number, making it much easier to find and cross-reference routes.
- No more black-flash when opening a route. Selecting a route on the map no longer causes a momentary black screen. The underlying paint logic was rewritten to use Mapbox's native feature-state system, which is both faster and more reliable.
- Accurate route click targets. Clicking a route on the map now reliably selects the correct one, even when routes run close together or overlap. The hit-detection algorithm was replaced with a precise geometric distance calculation.
- Total Distance now displays correctly. The "Total Distance" stat on the routes page was always showing a dash (—). This is now fixed and shows the correct figure.
- Faster page navigation. Switching filters or searching on the Routes, Vehicles, and Customers pages is noticeably quicker — background data that doesn't change with filters is no longer re-fetched on every interaction.
- Cleaner stop list. The route detail view now shows a single, unified stop list from origin to destination, replacing the previous split layout.
What's coming next
- Editable route number and name fields in the manual route edit form.
- Server-side persistence of road-snapped route geometry, so the map loads instantly for all users instead of recalculating on first view.
