Customize Map and Share Map View Follow

Overview

As a fleet leader, you often face the challenge of monitoring multiple locations and activities at once—whether it's keeping an eye on key asset types, work sites, or individual drivers.

With our customizable map view feature, you can easily create tailored map views that provide a real-time snapshot of your fleet's operations. By applying filters, you can focus on what matters most, such as traffic conditions, a specific driver’s location, or zooming in on your headquarters or a critical job site. This flexibility helps you stay in control and make informed decisions quickly, all from a single, streamlined dashboard.

In this article, we present step-by-step instructions in how you can customize your map view and share the customized view with others in your company.
