We have just release the new version 2.2.6 Dashboard with the reverse Geo-location and Google Maps integration being the neatest! Now when you click on a point on the map you see a pop-up with links for “Device Status” which shows the detailed vehicle information at that point in time (Engine RPM, Fuel level, MPG, mileage) and a link for “Where’s this?” Clicking the latter will give a pop-up that tried to get the exact address of this point. It also provides a link to Google Maps that allows you to interactively explore this area to see pictures, web cams, traffic information and Google’s street view that allows virtual tours of the location. It also allows you to see what business is at this place or other businesses around it.
Popup with Reverse GeoLocation Address
Google Map showing what's around here, Street View, Pictures and other information available about this location.
Other features in this release include:
- Online help is just a click away. We have tried to explain many common operations that user want to do, including charting, reporting, looking at map history. We plan to continually add to this with new and better explanations.
- Improved the map pop-up bubbles with important information on an event such as acceleration, deceleration, excessive speeding or ignition on or off. Also directions are shown with the more friendly “N,NE,E…” instead of the exact 0 to 359 degree heading.
Pop-up shows important vehicle information.
- On the Maps screen, along with filtering on minimum speed, you can filter to show only there the device stopped.
Display show filtering by speed or stopped
- If the E-mail directive has the Subject field left blank, it will be filled in with the name of the Alert of Alarm.
We have many other exciting improvements planned in the future for AVIDTracker, its big brother AVIDdirector and the AVIDdashboard web portal. Many of these enhancements are based on use input and requests so please let us know what you would like to see to us do for you!
