Google Maps & TomTom navigation

Schedule it has integration with Google Maps and TomTom Webfleet navigation systems. This allows scheduling and navigation to be combined into a single application.

Google Maps

With Google maps and Schedule it, directions and locations can be checked between selected resources. These can be emailed or viewed online. Give each resource a GEO location which can be a zip/post code then in an event choose Navigation from the options.

TomTom WEBFLEET

With TomTom Webfleet events can be sent to remote units, staff, or vehicles, with details of the event. The live status of any events can be seen, along with travel time and current units status, and live GPS positions. Live messaging and other options are also integrated.
