Freshers, Ask for Directions No More — Your Route Is on DexTask
First week on campus. You have a lecture in 20 minutes, but you have no idea where the lecture hall is.
You ask one person, and they point you in a direction. You ask another, and somehow, you're now heading somewhere completely different.
Then there's the familiar question:
"Please, where can I get a Keke from here?"
If you're a fresher, welcome to university life!
Getting familiar with a new campus can be exciting, but finding your way around is not always straightforward. Between locating lecture halls, finding important buildings and figuring out transportation, there's a lot to learn.
But what if your phone could help you figure out where you're going?
What if you could see your route on a map and even track the Keke driver you've ordered?
That's exactly where DexTask comes in.
Your Campus, Your Map, Your Route
Imagine being able to navigate your school environment without having to stop every few minutes to ask for directions.
With DexTask's live GPS navigation, you can use your phone as a map to find your way around campus.
Whether you're trying to locate a lecture hall, find a particular building or get familiar with different parts of your university, the GPS navigation feature helps you navigate your surroundings.
You don't have to be the fresher who is constantly asking:
- "Please, where is the faculty building?"
- "How do I get to the library?"
- "Where is this lecture venue?"
- "Am I even going in the right direction?"
Open DexTask, check your map and find your route.
Less confusion. More confidence.
Need a Keke? Track Your Driver in Real Time!
Finding your destination is one thing. Getting transportation is another.
Imagine finishing a lecture and needing a Keke to get somewhere else on campus.
You place your order, but instead of wondering where your driver is or repeatedly calling to ask, you can check their location in real time.
With DexTask's mobility feature, students can:
- Order a Keke for transportation.
- View the driver's real-time location.
- Track the Keke as it makes its way to their pickup point.
- Have a better idea of where their ride is.
No more standing around wondering whether your Keke is still coming.
You can follow your driver's movement on your phone while waiting for your ride.
For a fresher who is still learning the campus, this can make getting around considerably less confusing.
More Than Just Navigation: What Else Can You Do on DexTask?
Getting around campus is important, but university life comes with other needs too.

1. Gigs & Errands

Why Freshers Should Get DexTask Early
Your first few weeks at university are when you're learning how everything works.

Having useful tools on your phone can make that transition easier.
With DexTask, you can:
- Navigate your campus using live GPS.
- Find your way to different locations around school.
- Order a Keke and track your driver in real time.

University Life Is Easier When You Know Your Way Around
Being a fresher doesn't mean you have to know every corner of your university immediately.
You'll learn as you explore, make friends and experience campus life.
But you also don't have to make everything harder than it needs to be.
