If you get a prompt asking for the app to access your location – select ‘yes’.

For the app to work properly, you’ll need to let the app access your location and activate Bluetooth.

There are Bluetooth beacons throughout the Market’s undercover areas. When you are in range of a beacon, your location will be marked with a blue dot.

Once you are out of range of the beacons, the app will find your location using your phone/tablet’s GPS and will mark your location with a green dot.

How does the app work?

Use the app to:

  • Find your way around
  • As a comprehensive business directory

Finding your way around

Traders

If you are a store or stand holder and want to deliver produce to a retailer’s parking bay, all you need to know is their parking bay number. This is something you should ask them as part of any transaction requiring delivery to a parking bay.

Click on ‘search’ and key in the retailer’s parking bay number.

If you are at the Market, the app will automatically work out your location. If you are not at the Market or in GPS range, key in your start location, for example, your store or stand number.

A map will appear showing you the quickest forklift route to get to the parking bay. You can either follow the step-by-step directions, or look at an overview of the map and plan your route.
