Route4Me’s Telematics Integration with Teletrac Navman
Route4Me’s partnership with Teletrac Navman provides integrated route optimization planning, dispatch and vehicle tracking.
Establishing the Teletrac Navman Connection
To establish a telematics connection, first you need to contact Teletrac and request enabling API credentials for your account.
Your account representative can also provide you with your “GUID”, which will be required when setting up the connection in Route4Me.
After receiving confirmation from Teletrac that API credentials have been enabled, log into your Route4Me account. On the menu to the left, click “Settings” → “Telematics Gateway”.
Click “Add Telematics Connection”.
Type in a name for your connection (it can be anything, such as a company name).
Select “Teletrac Navman” in the “Telematics Vendors” drop-down menu.
Next, type in your Teletrac “GUID” in the “Account ID” field.
Insert your Teletrac Navman username and password.
Finally, click the authorization checkbox at the bottom of the window.
Click “Save” when you’re done.
Please allow 10 min for initial configuration.
Viewing Your Teletrac Navman Vehicles in Route4Me
After connecting to your Teletrac Navman account, the status of your connection will be displayed on the Telematics Gateway page.
Your vehicles are automatically imported and re-synchronized into the account of the corresponding Route4Me user. To access your vehicles list, go to “Team” → “Vehicles”.
All imported vehicle data will be available in this section.
By default, new vehicles are automatically reconciled every minute. You can link a vehicle to a route in two ways: during the route planning process or after the route has been planned.
To link the vehicle to a route during the route planning process, click the “User” tab, then select the appropriate vehicle in the “Assign Vehicle” drop-down list.
To link the vehicle to a planned route, click “Assign Vehicle” in the Routes List.
When tracking data is captured from Teletrac Navman, then data sent to Route4Me is evaluated to determine which vehicle (by ID) is associated with this connected vehicle ID. The last-known active route for the corresponding Route4Me vehicle ID is identified, and tracking data is appended into this route’s tracking history.
Data streaming in from Teletrac Navman automatically gets associated with that vehicle ID. You will be able to track vehicle activity in the Route Editor or in the Routes Map section. To bring up your vehicle location and tracking history on the map, click “Tracking” → hover your mouse cursor over “Route” → select the timeframe for which you want to show tracking history.
NOTE: It may take up to 60 seconds for your vehicles to show up on the route map.
