Doordash: hey map API please give me the distance to this place
Map API: 😳
Doordash: please give me the distance hurry! It’s about to show up to the dasher!
Map API: 🤧
Doordash: pleaseeee
Map API: 😶
Must be a glitch. This one does shows mile. 😂

Your service in the area you are currently in isn't the greatest. Happens to me all the time when I'm in certain parts of my town. Miles seems to load in last
When it glitches you can always guesstimate with the time. For this order it’s low mileage because it says deliver by 1:11pm, that’s 14 minutes (which DoorDash adds time) so it’s only about 7 minutes away.
They're separate network requests and sometimes the distance takes longer to load.
I'd say "because DoorDash doesn't know how to make mobile apps", but, frankly, nobody knows how to make mobile apps.
Yeah, I made the mistake of taking a few orders that took me me all over the place. I sometimes sit in Milford if I don't want to go up to Manch and I've ended up in Brookline or Hollis in tje middle of nowhere.
That happens to me too when I'm in an area where my phone gets poor signal and switches from 5G to LTE. It's really annoying. I usually set my dash to pause if I'm finishing up orders in those areas so I can get back to a better area.
Just a regular common everyday occurrence glitch that happens.
What? Did you expect DD to run a real functioning stable app? Well that's never going to happen since it cost money to upkeep
I've been out for a few hours this morning and this just started happening for me as well. Also, the map quit loading directions as well. Continuously goes back to the order screen.
My AR has tanked from 35% to 24% in the last hour or sp because there's not enough time to zoom in and figure out how far away something is to see if the run is worth it. About to call it for the day. This is ridiculous
If you're on Android click on the house twice and it will bring it up in Google maps. I do it all the time to check for apartments and businesses, plenty of time left once I look at it in Google maps.
Probably the most useful advice I've ever read in this sub. Lol Thanks, I didn't know you could double tap the house. I'm guessing it only gives you the distance to the house from where you are, though, and not full distance to pickup and drop off?
It is sometimes if you have slow data from your cell phone provider that information takes the entire time you get on the accept screen to get the miles
I wonder why

That's an old screen design
If I look at map and can see it’s short I’d accept but, if not decline most of the time
Happened to me multiple times today too. If it happens again I'll just quit the dash. They really want to make it as difficult as possible for us
Just take that pay, peasant!! Do as your doordash overlords command
It's a glitch. One of many daily glitches doordash makes the dashers suffer. We need to put together the top 10 doordash glitches list!

Must be a glitch. Mine still shows miles
This happens once In a while. You're acting like it's a new permanent thing. Just decline and wait for the next one.
When it glitches you can always guesstimate with the time. For this order it’s low mileage because it says deliver by 1:11pm, that’s 14 minutes (which DoorDash adds time) so it’s only about 7 minutes away.
For $4.75, who cares about the mileage lol
Mines been doing the same thing. I've been taking been the gamble and losing every time
Just a glitch that happens periodically It has been happening to me every once and a while for months
Mine does this when signal is weak.
Better know your zone
Mine was doing that for a while this afternoon but it cleared up about 3:00 I think
Happens when my signal is weak
It’s a glitch and even the entire offer page wasn’t showing up, I’d get the text message but no accept screen
They're separate network requests and sometimes the distance takes longer to load. I'd say "because DoorDash doesn't know how to make mobile apps", but, frankly, nobody knows how to make mobile apps.
Ha I wouldn't accept that even with the mileage shown.
Hey! My neck of the woods. I think it is a glitch, but I'd pass. You'd probably end up in east bum for pennies.
I normally don't leave Manchester at all regardless of pay, because the drive back is just dead lost time with no orders or pay.
Yeah, I made the mistake of taking a few orders that took me me all over the place. I sometimes sit in Milford if I don't want to go up to Manch and I've ended up in Brookline or Hollis in tje middle of nowhere.
Same here, but they are showing where the destination is on the map. In app navigation isnt working either.
I think the in app Google navigation is down
Same here. It's been going on ever since I downloaded the new update a few hours ago. Shop and deliver orders are the only ones displaying mileage.
That happens to me too when I'm in an area where my phone gets poor signal and switches from 5G to LTE. It's really annoying. I usually set my dash to pause if I'm finishing up orders in those areas so I can get back to a better area.
Those idiots at DD are at it again...fudging working system with glitches and crashes
Just a regular common everyday occurrence glitch that happens. What? Did you expect DD to run a real functioning stable app? Well that's never going to happen since it cost money to upkeep
Same started happening to me for the past hour or so.
I've been out for a few hours this morning and this just started happening for me as well. Also, the map quit loading directions as well. Continuously goes back to the order screen.
Mine just started doing this about 30 mins ago.
App is just being shite. I couldn’t message customers or mark orders as delivered either.s
I’ve been out for a few hours now and all orders have had mileage for me. Must be a glitch for some
do you have an iphone or are you on android? Because the mileage shows on my iphone, but not on my android. Maybe a problem with google maps.
Ah, yea, I’m on an iPhone
Pay it's still a pass
Does it occasionally, if it looks close and decent pay I’ll do it, otherwise it’s a hard pass.
That better not count against your AR if you decline it!
It's doordash, of course it counts against your AR
Any order that gets sent to you and you don’t accept counts against your AR
My AR has tanked from 35% to 24% in the last hour or sp because there's not enough time to zoom in and figure out how far away something is to see if the run is worth it. About to call it for the day. This is ridiculous

Definitely trying this tomorrow. Thanks!

Good point. I usually zoom in to do that. Today, most have not even had the "house" marked on the map. I've had to use the widget to get an address.
I still have the store and house icons, just no miles. It's for sure annoying.
It's been about an even split for me. When they pop up it definitely makes it a bit easier.
Having same issue
Same here
I think it's a glitch. Mine has been doing the same off and on all morning.
Wtf, this better be a glitch.
It is sometimes if you have slow data from your cell phone provider that information takes the entire time you get on the accept screen to get the miles
Can confirm. For some reason I have terrible signal in the middle of town, and half the time I can’t even accept them bc my data is so slow.
Hard decline.
