We have new phone software for our delivery routes. It is better, than the 10+ year old ones. It was actually three apps, one for picks and drops and proof of delivery one for taking pictures and a map. Now it's all in one, Anyway, portions of it would be better viewed on my desktop in preparation at oh-dark-30 in the mornings. Anyone familiar with an emulator that would work?

Huge pain in the a$$ to use my phone to see the map. I make a route and put it in my 7" Garmin and make other notes, etc. So for a better view, I use my tablet. That sucks. It refreshes every minute and I lose where I was. Just heinous. I tried turning off wifi, put it in airplane mode and it still refreshes! I'll search for an emulator over the weekend. The new software is way more slick during the route, but the preparation is bogus!

@Eppie , I have that downloaded and successfully added my driver app. I was hoping to load a previous route to see how it behaves, but the app doesn't let you go back. So I'll have to see how it behaves when they send me my route for Monday. Thanks!

I haven't done it for a few years, so my knowledge might be a bit outdated, but the last time I did that, I used Google's official Android Studio to run Android emulators.

Ok, thx. If Bluestacks doesn't work right, I'll look into it.

Cool, let us know how you make out.

@Eppie , Monday's routes are always the smallest of the week so I wanted to see how it works out on Tuesday, today. And yeah, it's good. The aspect ratio is the same as a phone. I was hoping for a full screen. And the size is pretty much the same as my tablet. But the biggest benefit of working on the route on my desktop is that it does not refresh every 30 seconds and that is great. So I will continue to use it Tuesdays -Fridays. I have the free version of Bluestacks. I don't do games, so no need to upgrade. Thx again!
