Daily directions can be incoroproated into communications with your clients in many ways.
If you wish to include daily turn by turn riding instructions for email communications with the client, unique daily UrLS for Ride with GPS can be added on each daily recording on the Daily Map Route pin on the right hand side. Alternatively, one Master Ride with GPS URL containing all the daily links can be included on the Email Fields settings.
A " Directions" document can be provided to your clients as part of Odyssey's Paperwork offerings, and allows you to provide directional instructions to your client to successfully navigate from the Provider to the trail and vice versa. This document is available at Reservations and Depot level.

Where does the text and images for the directions come from?
1. Depot information
This is pulled from Main Menu | Admin | Settings | Company Settings 2 | Trail | Depot
2. Briefing date and time
This comes from the Departure |Details | Depot tab
3. Welcome text and Footer text
This comes from your departure, on the Daily Directions tab. It can be edited and customised at this level for your departure. Initially this information was pulled through to the Departure/Trip from the Master Package.
Welcome, and Footer text is populated on the Master, but can be customised at Departure level as required
4. District information
Comes from Main Menu | Admin | Settings | Company Settings | District
District information for inclusion in the Directions Document
5. Daily information
This information comes from your Departure/Trip, on the Daily Directions tab. It can be edited and customised at this level for your departure. Initially this information was pulled through to the Departure/Trip from the Master Package.
The idea here is that you can enter text which describes how to get from this town/district to the trail - it is optional for you to use.
Daily text is populated on the Master, but can be customised at Departure level as required
6. Provider directions information
The Directions between this Provider and the trail, and the map image come from the Main Menu | Provider | Movements | Notes tab, using the Notes - Directions field. Click the camera icon to include a map image.
From any Departure, click the Paperwork | Daily Directions option
or at Depot level, from the Details tab, click on Daily Directions from the Paperwork drop down list
