Saving, printing and sharing a route – How to save a route, print turn by turn instructions and share the route link with others
What this guide does
This guide explains how to save a route in the National Network Map (NNM) Route Planner. This guide shows how to share a route link with others and how to print a PDF of the turn-by-turn instructions. This guide also explains how saving a route generates a Route ID that can be reused later.
Prerequisites
A web browser with internet access.
Access to the National Network Map and the Routes tab.

Step-by-step instructions
Open the National Network Map and go to the Routes tab for your selected Class 2 vehicle.
Ensure your route is fully created, with waypoints added and turn by turn instructions available via Directions.
Click the Save option for the route.
4. After saving, note the Route ID that appears in the left-hand column. This ID is required to reopen the route later or load it into other tools.
5. To share the route:
a) Click Directions to open the instructions drawer.
b) Click the share icon.
c) Copy the link presented and send it via email or chat. Recipients can view the full route, including turn by turn instructions, even if they are not logged in to NHVR Go.
6. To print the route:
a) Click the print icon.
*The print icon isn’t working at the moment. Please go back to the main Routes tab, click the three dots and select print from there instead.
b) Wait for a PDF of the turn-by-turn instructions (with a QR code for sharing) to open in a new browser tab.
c) Print or save the PDF as required.
Tips and common issues
Routes must be saved to obtain a Route ID and to allow sharing and printing; unsaved routes cannot be reliably reused.
The shared link allows others to see the route and instructions but does not grant them edit access to your account.
Check printed PDFs for completeness and legibility before issuing them to drivers.
Where to get help
Consult your organisation’s logistics or operations team for how printed routes should be filed or issued.
Contact the NHVR Route Planner support team if Route IDs do not appear or if PDFs fail to generate.
