How do I get there... an where am I?

Tracker Systems has added a flexible Landmark feature to the MyTracker GPS Mapping Service.  Now you can add a "Landmark" icon on the fleet view and unit map view to help identify locations that their vehicles routinely visit.  Once a landmark is established, all new location reports from the vehicle's on-board GPS unit will be logged with the nearest landmark.  Later, when reports are run, you are be able to display the nearest landmark for each vehicle GPS report.

The new MapIt feature on the Fleet Map and Unit Map pages is a dispatcher's new best friend.  With one click, you can open a box and type in a street address and the map will zoom in and place a starburst on the street where you want to go! 

The Landmark feature now feeds into most reports on the Tracker Systems customer website.  This is a major timesaver because now you can pinpoint visits to customer locations, supply depots, and company locations as well as places your drivers should not be visiting.  Once you input the Landmarks, every location report from the Tracker unit will be compared to the list of Landmarks in the Database.  When you run reports, like the stop report, you can select the "show landmarks" feature.  The report will now list those reports that are within a selectable distance from any landmarks in your account's database.  You can easily compare time cards and route lists to the Tracker GPS report to verify payroll, customer billing, etc.

Tracker GPS TowGuard Saves the Day!

It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon in sunny South Florida. My daughter was at the beach. I was in my office getting caught up on some paperwork and talking with my wife. Suddenly, “ding,” I was notified of an incoming e-mail. On a Saturday, I wouldn’t have looked at it right away, except the preview of the subject line that flashed on my screen said “TOW GUARD ALERT!!!

Before and After Idle Report Comparisons

It is interesting to compare the idling patterns of our GPS FleetTrackerAVL customers right after the system is installed and then 30 days later. The report is called an Excessive Idle report and it's amazing what an eye-opener it can be.
