The driver app runs on Android 8.0 or higher or iOS 16.6 or higher (Apple). The device must have Bluetooth, mobile data, and Location permission set to Always Allow. A 4G LTE SIM card slot is required for continuous connectivity.
The Route One ELD driver app runs on most modern smartphones and tablets. Here's what you need to know before purchasing a device.
Android Requirements
Android 8.0 (Oreo) or higher. Compatible with Samsung, LG, and other major Android manufacturers. The device must have Bluetooth and a 4G LTE SIM slot. Location permission must be set to "Always Allow" for the app to function correctly.
iOS Requirements
iOS 16.6 or higher. Compatible with iPhone and iPad. Must have Bluetooth capability and a cellular data plan or hotspot connection. Location permission must be set to "Always Allow" in iOS Settings → Route One ELD → Location.
Why 4G LTE?
The app syncs log data to the cloud in real time. Wi-Fi-only tablets work in areas with Wi-Fi, but won't maintain a connection on the road. A cellular SIM ensures continuous syncing.
Recommended Devices
We recommend Samsung Galaxy Tab A-series tablets or Apple iPad for drivers who want a larger screen. For phone-only setups, any current-generation iPhone or Android flagship works well. See everything the driver app can do.
