The Location Permission Settings in the Navistream Driver App ensure that vehicle movement and duty status events are accurately tracked at all times. Following an automatic software update, drivers may be prompted to confirm these settings so the app retains continuous background location access required for compliance.

Step 1: Updating the Application

  1. When an update alert appears on your tablet screen, tap Update.

  2. Allow the installation to finish to ensure you are operating on the latest version of the software.

Step 2: Acknowledging the Location Notice

  1. Once the update completes, a prompt will appear requesting confirmation of your location permission settings.

  2. If an initial location notice appears on the screen, select Acknowledge and Continue.

Step 3: Accessing Device Location Settings

  1. On the permission prompt, select Allow in Settings.

  2. This will open the device's system settings menu displaying available location access levels for the Navistream app.

Step 4: Updating Permissions to "Allow All the Time"

  1. Review the currently selected permission option.

  2. If set to "Allow only while using the app", tap to change the selection to "Allow all the time".
    Note: Selecting "Allow all the time" ensures that location tracking functions properly in the background while vehicle and duty events are logged.

Step 5: Returning to the Login Screen

  1. Tap the Back button at the bottom of the tablet screen.

  2. Repeat until you are returned to the primary Navistream Driver App login menu.
