Channel: Luis Salgado-Clara

[17]
Hi I am Luis Salgado ,ambassador for the New York New Jersey region and today I'm coming with a quick
[22]
reference video for all my Uber friends. All my Uber recruits that need this
[28]
information this is very important is we're going to talk about Ubers
[33]
navigation and which choices you have remember if you haven't subscribed to
[40]
the show please like subscribe in the links below if you haven't signed up to
[46]
drive for Uber or Lyft the links are below so go to the description below and
[52]
check out the links plus all the other services that are offered here in this
[58]
channel so let's go quickly into the video as you see this in the screen is
[65]
the uber screen the uber driver app so we're in the home screen we're going to
[73]
go quickly to the account screen ok and then right there as you see there's
[82]
there are profile help way bill payment documents driving time and then you see
[87]
settings and in settings you're going to see navigation now in the navigation
[97]
page you're going to see the options that are that that uber offers for you
[106]
in terms of GPS apps you have uber which they recommend and I'll talk about that
[112]
very soon then we have Google Maps which launches in a separate app Waze which as
[120]
well also launch it launches in a separate app and then you have other
[125]
navigation settings okay so navigation on Uber Pool trips use
[130]
Uber navigation on all Pool trips I recommend that so you're going to
[136]
press here right and then night mode is automatic which means it changes to show
[143]
you two it makes it a little darker and it is easier to see
[148]
in the dark so as you see I have ways navigation up as my default app and to
[157]
the app that I that I use because I recommend Waze not only for the use with
[165]
uber lyft and other apps but I also recommend ways as a personal GPS app
[173]
because Waze is user based so the information in the Waze app is updated
[181]
by other Wazers they're called racers or other users and
[185]
the marriage of social media and global positioning
[193]
service or GPS as we call it so I recommend that you use Waze of course
[200]
Google Maps and Waze are very similar and Waze is owned by Google Maps so it
[209]
there's going to be a lot of similar information there but Waze is connected
[215]
in real-time with all the databases of more than 180 cities around the world
[223]
so wherever you use Waze is not only updated by the other wazers but it's
[230]
also updated by the databases of the cities machines or computers that are
[238]
used right that are in use all the time to monitor the city's traffic patterns
[245]
so I recommends ways hands-down the best app navigation the navigation app ok so
[254]
let's go back home right and we set that up and we get go home right and now I'm
[263]
going to give you because this is a quick video so I'm just gonna give you
[267]
some pointers into in terms of the navigation with uber uber of course has
[275]
its own navigation app which is inside the app itself and they reckon
[283]
because when it comes to ruber pool trips it's very essential for you to use
[290]
the uber navigation app because Waze is not connected or Google Maps for that
[298]
matter those apps are not connected or in in they're not api connected apps
[304]
with uber so if there's any changes when you're doing goober pool
[311]
they will not be reflected in ways or Google Maps but they will definitely be
[317]
reflected on the uber app so that is why when we went in the settings I asked you
[325]
to press in navigation settings the button that says navigation on pull
[332]
trips use uber navigation on all pull trips and that is very important that
[338]
you press that button because otherwise if you have a pool trip in the moment
[343]
that there is different changes there changes in your routes or other
[348]
passengers are put into the queue to go into your car to to board your car in
[354]
the pool then those if you're not if you don't have that checked those changes
[360]
will not be you will be using another app and those changes will not reflect
[367]
in either ways or Google Maps so I recommend that you press that and of
[374]
course I always tell people this is a really important thing right navigation
[380]
is the reason or the main reason that most drivers get deactivated because
[386]
remember our passengers also have their navigation in their phones so they are
[391]
monitoring you in the moment that you are driving around there's a lot of
[396]
stigma against the transportation companies as the taxis used to maybe
[401]
drive around to accrue more money so we have to fight against that stigma and
[406]
how do we do that make sure that you when the passenger gets into your car
[412]
that you tell them say hey you're going to
[416]
in such area such as such address right you corroborate with the passenger and
[422]
that you tell them in the GPS it says in ways or in Google Maps or an uber GPS it
[430]
says that we're gonna be there in 15 minutes
[433]
it's that okay with you and the passenger will say of course yes that's
[437]
good and then you should also ask them if
[441]
they have a preferred route to take through there so do you have sir ma'am
[446]
we have a preferred route to take you there and they'll say okay no it's okay
[450]
just follow the GPS at that moment they're showing their trust for you so
[455]
you're putting yourself in a position where they understand that you are gonna
[461]
go step by step by the rules that the GPS indicates so it's very important
[468]
that you make those questions and it's very important that the GPS is visible
[473]
to the passenger so if you put the GPS or the phone
[479]
we're on a phone holder so that the passenger sees that you're following
[484]
step by step those commands in the GPS then they're going to feel more
[491]
comfortable or they're going to understand that you're in essence
[495]
following every steps that the GPS is commanding and that you're not driving
[500]
around to make more money so these are all those recommendations that I want to
[509]
make in terms of the uber GPS remember to rate like and subscribe and if you
[516]
