Phone, data and navigation: getting your kit ready for work
Your phone is your work tool. If it dies or loses signal, you lose money. What to set up from day one.
In short
- A mount at eye level + an in-car charger or power bank.
- A data plan with headroom — apps and navigation use a lot.
- Offline city maps for weak-signal areas.
01Hardware
- a solid mount — never hold the phone while driving
- a fast car charger or a 10,000 mAh+ power bank
- a spare cable
- couriers: a waterproof case or handlebar mount
02Phone settings
- Turn on notifications and sounds for the driver or courier app.
- Disable battery saving for those apps — otherwise the system may close them.
- Download an offline map of Warsaw or Poznań in your navigation app.
- Set a screen lock and backups — a phone with access to your account must be protected.
03Mobile data
Apps and navigation run constantly — choose a plan with a big data allowance. A second SIM from another network helps where coverage drops.
?Questions
Which navigation app should I use?
Whichever shows traffic best in your city. Many drivers use the platform’s built-in navigation plus a second app to compare.
