Please note that if you have large operations (1,000s of daily tasks), depending on system performance, there might occasionally be visual lag on the Planning and Monitoring screens.
Configuration settings for Map Display
Simplifying the map view in the Operations Screen may help with any visual lag. Disabling map animation may improve performance in these cases and reduce the visual lag.
Simplifying the map view can be done in the Configuration ⇒ Dashboard Settings.⇒ Map options, or by clicking on the gear icon on the top menu, where you can disable map animations. Here, you also have the same options for various entities (Tasks, Drivers, Routes, and Zones) as seen on the Map display option panel on the Planning screen.
Click Save once the feature has been disabled.
