Navman Wireless Updates Fleet Tracking Software Tuesday, 01.29.2008, 02:40pm (GMT) Navman Wireless North America has released the next generation of its vehicle tracking and logistics software, OnlineAVL2. A successor to the company's Online AVL1, which provides fleet managers with vehicle position and activity details, and a key component of the complete Navman Wireless solution, the new OnlineAVL2 integrates new ways for businesses to view the location of their assets and more accurately address issues for their drivers and customers, according to the company. Providing fleet managers with a more photorealistic view of their drivers' actual surroundings, the new OnlineAVL2 employs high-resolution satellite imagery and high aerial photography. In addition to traditional street-level mapping views, the new Navman Wireless software now supports several hybrid mapping display options with views including street-level mapping, top-down satellite imagery with street and street name overlay, or satellite imagery only. Each option accurately displays the position of assets according to their current GPS location, and provides a clearer picture of roadways, structures and parking areas, to name a few, in relation to the vehicle. An intuitive popup window allows fleet managers to zoom in on a vehicle for greater detail without losing the rest of the surrounding map. "Our new OnlineAVL2 is the result of significant customer feedback, millions in R&D and several years of development," said Renaat Ver Eecke, vice president — Navman Wireless North America. "These enhancements, coupled with the software's existing extensive range of features, makes our fleet management offering the most complete and cost effective solution on the market." Additional features of OnlineAVL2 include: unlimited two-way messaging to one, some, or all vehicles from an office desktop; fully integrated navigation functionality for drivers; comprehensive real-time and historical vehicle/driver activity reporting; Driver ID technology for differentiating individual activity with shared assets; programmable alerts for vehicle speed, idle time, unauthorized movement, and security breach; and polygonal geofence functionality for defining driver territories.
