Why is my time and distance zero between trip stops?

This is controlled by the Network table. This should be automatically calculated by your system based on the GPS co-ordinates of the location, which themselves should be automatically calculated.

  • Find your locations of the two adjacent stops.
  • In the Network screen, enter your first location in the criteria and find. Then check whether there is an entry for the second location
  • If there is no entry between those locations, that is why no distance and time.

That may be because of the Location GPS co-ordinates:

  • Go to the location screen.
  • Find the locations in sequence.
  • Check that the locations have a GPS co-ordinate against them.
  • If they do, then check whether they are the exact same co-ordinate - if they are, change one.

If they have GPS co-ordinates, then this may be to do with the trailer on the trip,

  • You can check this by removing the trailer and trailer type from the trips.
  • Alternatively, check the trailer type in the Resources screen.
  • If the drive time modifier (DT Mod) is 0, this should be changed to 1 (normal drive time), or a positive value that will be used to modify the drive time (less than 1 = faster, greater than 1 = slower).
