Navman Wireless Adds Multi-Stop Route Optimization to Fleet Tracking System

Navman Wireless has added a route optimization capability to its OnlineAVL2 fleet tracking software through integration with Dashfly’s web-based mapping service. The new option — available only in the U.S. — is designed to save time, mileage and fuel by enabling dispatchers to calculate the fastest and shortest driving routes for up to 25 stops with one click and then electronically transmitting the resulting routing information to Navman Wireless’ M-Nav in-vehicle terminals for driver notification and turn-by-turn navigation.

Dispatchers managing delivery, service, construction equipment transport and other vehicles can save an average of 55 minutes in planning and communicating a typical 10-stop route to drivers by automating the route optimization process as well as eliminating routing-related phone calls, according to Dashfly calculations. Dashfly’s optimized routing also cuts an average of 10 miles, 20 minutes and $1.50 in fuel for each 10-stop route, enhancing the ability of Navman Wireless’ OnlineAVL2 platform to help fleets operate at peak efficiency.

Other benefits of the combined OnlineAVL2/M-Nav/Dashfly solution include:

    Elimination of wasted driving, potentially enabling more stops per vehicle

    Easy drag-and-drop rerouting to accommodate new job orders or other changes

    Improved driver safety through reduced cellphone use and wrong turns

    Avoidance of traffic-related delays enabled by M-Nav’s live traffic monitoring 

    Seamless integration of all three components for easy, streamlined use

Dispatchers enter the addresses of all stops on any given route into a password-protected portal; wait a few seconds for Dashfly to generate the most efficient stop-by-stop routing; and transmit the results to the appropriate driver by choosing from a dropdown menu listing each fleet’s vehicles. The M-Nav unit then displays the route and delivers turn-by-turn voice directions with a tap, NavMan Wireless stated.

The new route optimization feature is available immediately to U.S. customers as an optional monthly subscription service with Navman Wireless’ OnlineAVL2 fleet tracking platform and M-Nav 760 in-vehicle terminal for two-way messaging and GPS navigation.
