Before You Drive

Routes are planned on dighere.com.au/route and brought into the app by tapping Sync. CarPlay reads those saved routes, so sync on the phone first. If you have no saved routes, you will see a prompt to plan one on the website and sync.

Using It in the Car

1. Connect and open

Plug in or connect to CarPlay and open DigHere. A branded splash shows briefly, then your Saved routes list appears.

3. Preview and choose a driving route

Tap Drive to start. Dig Here calculates real driving routes to the trailhead and shows a preview with options. Each choice lists distance and time (Fastest / Alternative), with the road route drawn in blue. The preview shows the estimated arrival time.
