With Azuga Routes Driver Breaks feature, you can insert adjustable break stops right into the already planned routes with just a touch of the button, and Azuga Routes will automatically choose the most optimal location and stop sequence for the insertion, as well as recalculate the route’s time and distance accordingly. 

To insert driver breaks into planned routes using the Routes Map:

1. First, go to Routes Map from the navigation menu.

2. On the Routes Map, to insert a break stop into a particular route, first, select this route by checking the corresponding box next to it. After that, go to Edit in the toolbar and then select Insert Breaks from the menu.

3. Next, in the Breaks Wizard, input the preferred break duration into the corresponding field and then select one of the following break types:

• After a certain number of elapsed minutes or hours: The break stop is inserted into the route at the most optimal position after the defined total elapsed time (total elapsed time = total travel time + total service time); 
• After a certain number of service time: The break stop is inserted into the route at the most optimal position after the defined service time is passed (calculated based on the total service time); 
• After a certain number of travel time: The break stop is inserted into the route at the most optimal position after the defined travel time is passed (calculated based on the total travel time);
•  After a certain number of locations: The break stop is inserted into the route at the most optimal position after the defined stop number.

Insert the break stop after a certain number of elapsed minutes or hours: 

1. First, define the preferred break duration and then select the corresponding break type from the list.

2. After that, input the elapsed time after which you want the break to be inserted into the route and then click on the “OK” button accordingly.

When inserting a break after a certain number of elapsed minutes or hours, the break is inserted into the route at the most optimal position after the defined time which is calculated from the total duration of the route (total travel time + total service time). Once the break is inserted into the selected route, the route’s metrics are updated accordingly, and the defined break duration is added to the inserted stop as its service time.
