INDIANAPOLIS. Telogis is expanding its navigation portfolio with the new Telogis Navigation – Global Edition (GE). The announcement was made here at the NTEA Work Truck Show. Global Edition is optimized for iOS platforms and available in the App Store.According to the company, Telogis Navigation’s network of nearly 150,000 commercial drivers provides feedback to the system. That feedback is processed in real-time to send the most current and accurate truck-specific navigation. Drivers simply use the feedback function within the application to update information on road conditions, tips and exceptions. Telogis Navigation is tightly integrated with Telogis’ mobile enterprise management (MEM) platform that includes Telogis WorkPlan for hours-of-service (HOS)/compliance and Telogis Sites, giving drivers a 360-deg. suite of applications for customizable navigation and critical last-mile instructions. Fleets can set company-wide settings such as toll road preference, U-turn avoidance and alerts from within the Telogis Fleet application. Drivers and back-office teams are also able to add road edits and detours.The system offers onboard map data to ensure seamless navigation even when a vehicle is out of cellular or satellite range.“With Telogis Navigation, commercial drivers join a broader network of drivers from to get realtime, accurate and often mission-critical information about the routes they drive every day - whether they are piloting a service van or a Class 8, long-haul truck,” said Mark Fryer, vice president, Telogis Navigation and Spatial Technology. “Telogis Navigation is tightly integrated with the broad Telogis platform, giving individual drivers and companies everything they need to get where they’re going efficiently, safely and more productively.”
