Establishing a Telematics Connection with NexTraq

To establish a telematics connection with NexTraq, first, log into your Route4Me account. Next, go to the My Account tab from the navigation menu and then select  Telematics Gateway respectively.

On the Telematics Gateway page, click Add Telematics Connection in the top left corner of the screen.

Next, input the name/alias for the connection into the corresponding field (i.e., the name of the telematics vendor, etc.).

Then, select NexTraq from the Telematics Vendor drop-down menu.

Next, input the credentials to your NexTraq account into the User Name and Password fields.

After that, define the preferred Vehicle Position Refresh Rate in the corresponding field.

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 are able to set up the preferred Vehicle Position Refresh Rate and extract the tracking data as quickly as every second.

Finally, check the authorization box at the bottom of the window to agree with Route4Me’s Terms and Use policy and then click Save to finish.

Once the telematics connection is successfully established, it is displayed respectively on the Telematics Gateway page. In the Synced Vehicle Count column, you can view the percentage of successfully synchronized vehicles. To edit the corresponding connection, click on the gear icon next to it and then select the preferred option.

Viewing Your NexTraq Vehicles in Your Route4Me Account

All imported vehicles become available on the Vehicles page in your Route4Me account and can be edited respectively.

You can assign your imported vehicles to already planned routes, as well as to the routes that are being planned.

The data received from NexTraq is automatically associated with the ID numbers of the corresponding vehicles. You can track the activity of your vehicles in real time using the Route Editor or the Routes Map. To bring up your vehicles’ locations and tracking history on the map, first, click Tracking, then hover your mouse cursor over “Route,” and finally, select one of the corresponding timeframes from the list.

When your vehicles are out in the field, their tracking data is captured by NexTraq 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. For your convenience, vehicles’ icons can be changed to the logos of the corresponding telematics vendors (i.e., when you have integrations with multiple telematics vendors).

NOTE: It may take up to 60 seconds for the vehicle(s) to appear on the map.
