Doodle Map
Sketch routes, test areas and meeting points on a live map so every instructor teaches them the same way.
Doodle Map in the app, step by step
Filmed in the live app, at your own pace. Use the player controls to pause, replay or go full screen.
Good to know
- Doodle Map needs location permission. If the map stays blank, allow location access for Driving Instructor Manager in your phone's settings.
- Mark the test centre and the routes you use most often. Everyone in the school then teaches them the same way.
Doodle Map is a live map you can mark up. Use it to record test routes, meeting points and the areas you teach, then keep them for next time.
