Establish A Geotab Telematics Connection With Route4Me

Click To Open Your Route4Me Telematics Integrations

To establish a telematics connection with Geotab, go to “Settings” from the Navigation Menu and then select “Telematics Integrations“. Then, on the Telematics page, click the “Add Telematics Connection” button at the top of the page.

Next, input an alias for the connection in the required “Connection Name” field (i.e., the name of the telematics vendor, etc.). Then, select “Geotab” from the “Telematics Vendor” menu.

After that, input your Geotab Account ID, User Name, and Password into the respective fields. Then, specify your preferred Vehicle Position Refresh Rate for the Geotab telematics connection.

The Vehicle Position Refresh Rate is the frequency at which Route4Me’s Telematics Gateway retrieves vehicle tracking data from the corresponding telematics partner. Most telematics vendors receive and store data between 1 and 5 minutes, while other vendors can capture data at a higher frequency. With Route4Me, you can set up the preferred Vehicle Position Refresh Rate and extract the tracking data as quickly as every second.

Next, check either or both the “Sync Telematics Data” and “Sync Customer Data” box to specify which data from Geotab you want to import into and sync with your Route4Me account. In detail, the “Sync Telematics Data” option toggles the default telematics functionality which enables you to import, synch, and track GPS vehicles on routes. The “Sync Customer Data” option enables you to import address data and other customer details from Geotab to your Route4Me account. NOTE: To establish a telematics connection with Geotab, you need to enable at least one sync option. Additionally, you can sync both telematics and customer data at the same time with Route4Me. To do so, simply enable both sync options.

After enabling the preferred data sync options, check the authorization box at the bottom of the window to agree with Route4Me’s Terms and Use policy and click the “Save” button to create your Geotab Telematics Connection.

Once the telematics connection is successfully established, it’s displayed on the Telematics page. In the “Synced Vehicle Count” column, you can view the percentage of successfully synchronized vehicles. To edit a telematics connection, click on the Gear Icon next to it and select “Edit” to modify the connection or “Remove” to delete it from your account.

To do so, go to “Customers” from the Navigation Menu and then click either “Address Book List” or “Address Book Map“.

Tracking Your Geotab Vehicles On Routes In Your Route4Me Account

When your vehicles are out in the field, their tracking data is captured by Geotab and sent to Route4Me, where it is evaluated and processed. Then, Route4Me automatically associates the data with the corresponding vehicles and provides all available real-time and historical tracking information in the form of statistics, relevant metrics, and actionable intelligence.

You can track the activity of your vehicles in real time using the Route Editor or the Routes Map. To bring up a vehicle’s locations and tracking history on the Route Editor, click the Tracking Icon and check the “Tracking Path” and “Breadcrumbs” boxes. Then, click “Tracking Source” and select Geotab. Additionally, learn more about real-time GPS asset tracking.
