How RouteServe helps customers find your van
Open RouteServe on your phone and tap start when you head out. Customers scan the QR code on your van or open your permanent link and see where you are now on a live map. They do not need an app or an account. When you tap pause or end, your public map disappears completely, so nobody sees where you park up. Your link and QR code never change, so you can print them once. See the how it works page for the full picture, or read our guide on QR codes on your van.
