Overview

Landmarks provide fleet professionals with the ability to mark specific points of interest. Typically, landmarks are used for marking branch locations, customer locations, vendors, preferred fuel providers, or even maintenance shops.

Landmarks allow you to

• add landmark filters and layers to the map,
• view landmark names instead of addresses on reports and tables,
• create alerts and reports regarding arrival and departure of locations,
• and create missed inspection alerts based on arrival and departure.
