Why use a Garmin navigator with your fleet management solution?
In simple terms, the Garmin navigator doubles up as a mobile data terminal that gives you two key functions:
- - direct-to-driver commmunications, and
- - interactive navigation
Fleet-ready Garmin navigators are installed in each vehicle along with a data transponder (supplied by your fleet management provider) and connected
together via a FMI (fleet management interface) cable.
Drivers now have "screens" in their vehicles for real-time navigation, and to improve efficiencies, messaging and job
dispatch connectivity to the monitoring centre via a wireless mobile data network.
